Contract value

$115,000,000

The solicitation references “15K and 100K PlaneSkate,” which likely denotes two line‑item quantities (15,000 units and 100,000 units) of the aircraft skates. Assuming an average unit cost of $5‑$10 (typical for robust ground‑support equipment), the total contract value would range between $115 million (if $5 per unit) and $230 million (if $10 per unit). Considering the high‑volume nature and the fact that the solicitation does not disclose a price ceiling, a conservative midpoint estimate of roughly $115 million is reasonable. This estimate also aligns with the scale of similar airport equipment procurements.
