The real requirement
The indexed public description for 2026 Army notice W912CL26QKW02 requests 25,625 liters of bottled water for Sauce Jungle School, Peru. It identifies San Luis or Oasis and permits 500 mL or 1 L configurations. Use 500 mL for this classroom version and calculate the bottle quantity yourself.

The indexed notice listed an August 10, 2026 quote deadline, now past. Full attachments, amendments, submission structure and comparable award evidence still require verification before using a historical-award version in class. The practice version uses labeled fictional costs supplied by the instructor.

A price needs a plan.
Your quote should identify the product, quantity, unit price, total, included costs, payment assumptions and one material risk. Label research, supplier commitments and classroom assumptions accurately. Check that your price covers the costs you list.
Terry retains the benchmark and announces the contest format, gift details and tie-break rules before the exercise. Closest-price entries must first pass the completeness and arithmetic checks. A historical award price alone cannot reveal a contractor’s actual markup without actual cost evidence.
