Contract value

$300,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. Based on typical university flight‑service contracts for a single vendor providing helicopter or fixed‑wing support, annual spend can range from $150,000 to $500,000 depending on flight hours, aircraft type, and support services. The solicitation covers a one‑year period (Sept 2026–Oct 2026) and appears to be a fixed‑price award, so a reasonable midpoint estimate would be roughly $300,000. This estimate assumes moderate usage (≈200 flight hours) at an average cost of $1,500 per hour, plus ancillary support.
