Budget estimate

$150,000 – $300,000

The solicitation does not disclose a budget, but comparable 24‑ft aluminum research vessels with twin outboard engines and a custom trailer typically cost between $150,000 and $300,000 depending on engine horsepower, equipment options, and delivery logistics. Therefore, the award is likely to fall within that range.
