Budget estimate

$400,000 – $1,200,000

Based on the stated annual service volumes (≈1,076 hours of interpretation/captioning plus 120,000 words of translation) and typical market rates (≈$100–$150 per hour for interpretation/video‑remote services, $0.10–$0.15 per word for translation, $150–$250 per hour for training/testing), the four‑year contract is likely to be valued between roughly $400,000 and $1,200,000. The lower bound assumes modest rates and minimal ancillary services; the upper bound reflects premium rates, overtime, and full utilization of training/testing components.
