Budget estimate

$200,000 – $300,000

The RFP does not disclose a total contract value, but it notes an expected 2026 advertising revenue of $250,000 intended to cover production costs. Assuming the contractor bears printing and distribution expenses and receives a modest fee on top of ad revenue, a realistic contract award could range from $200,000 to $300,000, depending on cost efficiencies and any additional services provided.
