Budget estimate

$3,000,000 – $8,000,000

The solicitation sets a contract ceiling of $8 million for a five‑year period, with a guaranteed 120 days of daily availability plus flight‑hour rates. Assuming the contractor prices at the low end of the ceiling (e.g., limited utilization) the award could be around $3 million, while a fully utilized award could approach the full $8 million. The range reflects uncertainty in unit rates (daily‑availability and flight‑hour pricing) and optional extensions.
