$5,000,000 – $200,000,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate without more information about the potential contract value. However, based on the information provided, the budget could be substantial, considering the large quantity of Meal, Cold Weather (MCW) Rations that are being sought, with typical orders ranging from 30,000 cases to 60,000 or more, per year. The low end of the the estimate could be between $5 million and $50 million per year. The low-end estimate would be between $5 million and $50 million. The high-end estimate would be $50 million per year. The rationale behind the low-end estimate is that if we consider the lowest possible order of 30,000 cases, with each case weighing 15 pounds and having 12 meal packets per case, this comes out to be 360,000 meals per order, assuming 3 meals per day for a complete cold weather ration this would translate to 120,000 days of rations or around 328 years' worth of rations for one person if the order is placed once. However, this is not the case as orders are typically placed more than once per year and the number of cases ordered could be higher than the minimum of 30,000. On the high-end the estimate could be as high as $200 million annually if the 60,000 case order is used in the calculation.
