Contract value

$4,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value, but the NAICS size standard is $47 million. A 1000‑HP towboat lease for 60 days (plus possible extensions) is typically priced on a daily rate. Assuming a conservative daily rate of $30,000 (reflecting fuel, crew, and equipment costs), the base 60‑day period would be about $1.8 million. Each 30‑day option could add roughly $900,000, and a discretionary 30‑day extension another $900,000, bringing the potential maximum to around $4.5 million. Given the small‑business ceiling and typical market rates, a realistic ballpark is approximately $4 million.
