Budget estimate

$250,000 – $560,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total contract value. A typical AST system suitable for a VA medical center can range from $150,000 to $300,000 for the instrument alone, with annual maintenance contracts adding roughly $30,000–$70,000 per year. Assuming the base‑year purchase plus four optional maintenance years, the total potential spend could be in the $250,000–$560,000 range. This estimate accounts for equipment cost, installation, training, and multi‑year service agreements; actual pricing will vary based on vendor pricing, optional accessories, and negotiated discounts.
