Budget estimate

$500,000 – $1,500,000

The contract is a five‑year lease/rental with quarterly payments for one high‑volume postage meter, a statewide virtual‑meter SaaS platform, installation, training, and ongoing support. Similar federal postage‑meter lease contracts range from $100k‑$300k per year for equipment plus $50k‑$150k annually for software support and services. Over five years, total government spend is likely between $750,000 and $2,250,000. Assuming a 30‑40% contractor margin, the vendor’s net earnings could fall roughly in the $500k‑$1.5M range.
