Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a ceiling; however, similar multi‑site transformer‑testing contracts for a regional utility typically range from a few hundred thousand to a few million dollars, depending on the number of transformers, laboratory testing volume, and training scope. A reasonable estimate is $0.5 M to $2 M. Factors influencing the final amount include the total count of transformers (≈ 100), frequency of sampling, lab test costs, equipment installation, and the optional early‑payment discount.
