Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $20,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value, but the provided revenue projections (≈ $1.14 M retail sales + $0.52 M catering sales in Year 1) and the multi‑year scope suggest a contract worth several million dollars annually. Assuming a 30‑40 % retainage to the university and typical industry margins, the total contract value could range from roughly $5 M for a minimal‑service scenario up to $20 M for a full‑service, multi‑year engagement. Factors influencing the range include the number of retail locations, capital‑investment choices, and the length of renewal (7‑year vs 10‑year).
