Budget estimate

$100,000 – $250,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract ceiling. Comparable U.S. State Department media‑monitoring contracts in India have ranged from roughly $100,000 to $250,000 per year, depending on the volume of channels, reporting depth, and GST considerations. Assuming a modest daily reporting effort (≈ 200 reports per month) at an average rate of $150 – $200 per report, the annual spend would fall within that band.
