Contract value

$1,818,232

The award amount is explicitly listed as $1,818,232.00, which reflects the total value for the base period (08/12/2026‑12/31/2028). Assuming the two optional one‑year extensions are exercised at a similar annual rate, the full potential value could approach roughly $2.5 million. However, the contract’s guaranteed value is the stated award amount, so the best estimate is $1.818 million.
