Description

Contract value

$15,000

No explicit contract value is provided. The solicitation estimates a need for 8,000–15,000 postcards. Assuming an average unit cost of $0.40 for black‑ink cards, $0.75 for full‑color cards, and $0.25 for addressing/mailing per card, a blended average cost might be around $0.55 per postcard. Multiplying by a midpoint quantity of 11,500 cards yields roughly $6,325 in printing alone; adding mailing at $0.25 per card brings the total to about $10,000. Considering possible discounts, overhead, and other fees, a realistic ballpark range is $10,000–$20,000, with a central estimate near $15,000.
