Contract value

$84,571,000

The Action Item explicitly states an aggregate authorization of $84,571,000 for FY 27 pre‑K services, and the amendment adds no new money. Therefore the contract’s total value is the full $84.571 M cap, which will be distributed among the 49 vendors based on service capacity and need. No separate line‑item amounts are provided, but the total contract value is clearly $84,571,000.
