Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $3,000,000

While the solicitation does not disclose the contract value, a full‑service inmate food program for a county detention center typically serves several hundred inmates daily. Assuming an average meal cost of $5 per inmate, three meals per day, and 250 inmates, annual food costs approximate $1.4 million. Adding staffing, equipment, and overhead can raise the total to a $1 million–$3 million range per year. Therefore, a plausible estimate for the contract’s annual revenue is between $1 million and $3 million.
