RFP #018-008

Contract value

$500,000

The RFP lists unit costs (e.g., $2,300 per 8‑oz low‑fat milk, $30 per ½‑gallon, etc.) but provides no quantity forecasts. Assuming each of the 24 schools receives an average of 200 cartons of each milk SKU per month (≈ 2,400 cartons/month) and that there are roughly 10 SKU types, the monthly volume could approach 24,000 units. Multiplying a median unit price of $1.00 (≈ $100 cents) yields about $24,000 per month, or roughly $288,000 for the 12‑month term. Adding yogurt, cheese, sour cream, and eggs—estimated at another $150,000–$200,000—brings the total to **≈ $450,000–$500,000**. Considering possible higher volumes for larger schools and the optional CPI‑adjustments, a conservative ball‑park estimate is **$500,000** for the base year.
