Contract value

$492,000

The Notice of Award explicitly states an annual ceiling of $164,000. The solicitation describes a three‑year base period (with possible two‑year extensions). Assuming the contract is executed for the full base term, the estimated total contract value equals $164,000 × 3 = $492,000. If the two optional extensions are exercised, the value could rise to $164,000 × 5 = $820,000. Because the extensions are optional and have not been awarded, the conservative estimate is $492,000.
