Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $10,000,000

Based on typical inmate population sizes for a mid‑size county (approximately 4,000–6,000 inmates) and an estimated cost of $5‑$6 per meal, the annual food service spend would range from $7 million to $12 million. Assuming a one‑year contract, the vendor’s revenue could fall between $5 million (lower‑end service scope) and $10 million (full‑service, higher‑volume scope). Factors influencing the range include the exact inmate count, menu complexity, staffing levels, and any additional ancillary services required (e.g., waste disposal, reporting).
