Budget estimate

$2,500,000 – $8,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a guaranteed payment amount, but a typical college bookstore generates between $500 k and $1.5 M in annual gross sales. Assuming a modest guarantee plus a percentage of net sales, the college might receive roughly 5‑10 % of sales, translating to $25 k–$150 k per year. For the contractor, operating costs aside, the total contract value (revenue from sales) could be in the range of $2.5 M to $8 M over the five‑year term, depending on enrollment, course load, and ancillary merchandise sales. Factors influencing the range include inventory financing requirements, the percentage split negotiated, and the volume of online sales.
