Suppliers must disclose applicable subscriptions and separate freight, installation, training, service, and other charges.
- **Estimated value:** The materials cite a $350,000 estimated project budget and a separate program planning estimate of $120,000 annually, or $600,000 over five years. These are estimates, not guaranteed purchases; there is no minimum purchase commitment.
