Budget estimate

$75,000 – $900,000

The contract will likely be a multi‑year service agreement to run a campus bookstore, a revenue‑generating operation. Based on typical university bookstore budgets, annual revenues can range from $500 K to $2 M, with profit margins of 5‑15 %. Assuming a modest profit share or management fee, the contractor could expect earnings roughly between $25 K and $300 K per year, depending on volume and cost control. Over a three‑year term, total budget might be $75 K‑$900 K.
