Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

The RFP requires a per‑session fee (example $250) and a minimum of 30 images per cadet. Assuming an average of 250 sessions per year (approx. 125 cadets per semester) at $250 each, the base revenue would be around $62,500 annually. Additional earnings could arise from cadets purchasing prints or fine‑art products, potentially increasing the total by 20‑30%. Therefore, a reasonable estimate for the contractor’s annual earnings is $50,000‑$150,000, with the low end reflecting minimal ancillary sales and the high end reflecting strong uptake of optional products. Over the maximum five‑year contract, total earnings could range from $250,000 to $750,000.
