Contract value

$700,000

The RFQ calls for approximately 600,000 scf of liquid nitrogen per month (≈ 7.2 million scf per year). Industry pricing for bulk liquid nitrogen of 99.998 % purity typically ranges from $0.20 to $0.35 per 100 scf, implying an annual nitrogen cost of roughly $14,400 – $25,200. Adding the rental and service fees for the new bulk tank and vaporizer (estimated at $10,000 – $15,000 per month) yields an annual service cost of about $120,000 – $180,000. Over the 5‑year base term, the total contract value is therefore likely in the range of $650,000 – $900,000. Accounting for installation, regulatory compliance, and contingency, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is approximately $700,000.
