Contract value

$2,000,000

There is no disclosed contract total. Estimating based on the number of schools (≈30), a typical school day requiring ~100 loaves/rolls per school, 180 school days per year gives roughly 540,000 units. Assuming an average net price of $3.00 per unit (loaves, rolls, muffins) yields about $1.6 million. Adding ancillary items (specialty rolls, packaging, delivery fees) likely brings the total to around $2 million. This ball‑park reflects typical school‑food‑service bakery spend for a single‑year contract of this scope.
