Contract value

$15,000,000

The ITB lists estimated annual quantities totaling roughly 28,200 cases of fresh produce. Assuming an average case price of $200 (a conservative market estimate for USDA‑grade fruit/vegetable cases), the projected annual spend would be about $5.6 million. Over the three‑year base term, this yields an estimated contract value of roughly $16–17 million. Adjustments for delivery fees, potential price escalations, and actual market rates could shift the total, but a ball‑park figure of $15 million is reasonable.
