Budget Estimate (AI):

$100,000 – $10,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the document does not provide a specific dollar amount. However, based on the fact that the CSO is a competitive selection process that may result in the award of contracts or agreements, it is likely that the budget will be in the range of $100,000 to $10 million. The budget will depend on the specific requirements of the AoI and the proposals submitted by companies. Factors that may influence the budget include the complexity of the project, the level of innovation required, and the number of companies competing for the award.
