Budget estimate

$150,000 – $500,000

No award ceiling is disclosed. Based on the need to service dozens of state locations with daily pickups, on‑call service, and a flat‑rate pricing model, a typical contract could range from a few hundred thousand dollars up to around half a million dollars per year, depending on the number of stops, mileage, and ancillary services (e.g., hazardous material handling).
