$93M (8) not $700M or about $11M per bird. Not unusual for Green config. The FMS said "Green". Devil is in the details.

But... it seems there is another contract for non-Green versions (4). I do not know whether the 2nd contract is an amendment or an addendum to the early one.
23 Mar, 15, Source: US DoD
Sikorsky Aircraft Corp., Stratford, Connecticut, was awarded a $93,312,100 modification (P00233) to contract W58RGZ-12-C-0008 for eight “Green” configured UH-60M Blackhawk Helicopters for the Tunisian government. Fiscal 2015 other procurement funds in the amount of $93,312,100 were obligated at the time of the award. Estimated completion date is Dec. 31, 2016. Work will be performed in Stratford, Connecticut. Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama, is the contracting activity.

Here is the original $700M which speaks of 12 USG configurations indeed. The note included more than juste helicos:
30 Jul, 14, Source: DSCA
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Tunisia for UH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and associated equipment, parts, training and logistical support for an estimated cost of $700 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on July 23, 2014.

The Government of Tunisia has requested a possible sale of 12 UH-60M Black Hawk Helicopters in standard USG configuration with designated unique equipment and Government Furnished Equipment (GFE), 30 T700-GE-701D Engines (24 installed and 6 spares), 26 Embedded Global Positioning Systems/Inertial Navigation Systems, 24 M134 7.62mm Machine Guns, integration of Precision Guided Rocket System capability to permit launch of laser-guided variants of 2.75 rockets, 9,100 2.75 Hydra Rockets, 100 AGM-114R Hellfire Missiles, 20 M299 Hellfire Missile Pods, 24 M261 Hydra-70 Rocket Pods, 24 GAU-19 .50 cal Machine Guns, 15 Wescam MX-15Di or Brite Star II Electro-Optical Infrared Laser Designators, 6 Aviation Mission Planning Systems, 1 Aviation Ground Power Unit, 30 AN/AVS-9 Night Vision Goggles, 15 AAR-57 Common Missile Warning Systems, 15 AN/APR-39A(V)4s Radar Warning Receivers, 15 AN/AVR-2B(V)1s Laser Warning Systems, 30 MXF-4027 Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency radios, 15 AN/APX-117 IFF Transponders, 15 Very High Frequency/Digitally Selective Calling radios, 15 ARN-147 VOR/ILS, 15 AN/ARN-153 Tactical Air Navigation Systems, and 15 AN/ARC-220 radios. Also included are aircraft warranty, ammunition, air worthiness support, facility construction, spare and repair parts, support equipment, communication equipment, publications and technical documentation, personnel training and training equipment, site surveys, tool and test equipment, U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics support services, and other related element of program and logistics support. The estimated cost is $700 million.
The actual purchase contract must have been revised (hence modifications in the subsequent requests) to include 8 Green (@ $93M) and 4 USG-specs (@ $79M) and some of the above for a total tally of $405M, not $700M. May be.

PS : Green version = standard version
The Black Hawks won't be a green version. stop saying stupid things. 700 millions dollars for green version? are you out of your mind?
We are contracted to receive 12 UH60M, 8 of the 12 are standard versions (unarmed) and that's the green versions the last 4 are Gunships, that's Battle Hawks (fully armed)
Expected delivery for the Greens is end of 2016 and 2019 for the Gunships
Ps; watch your vocabulary and next time get informed otherwise you turn to be the stupid.

what about the weaponry ?
24 machine guns, 20 hellfire pods, 24 hydra pods and the rest of equipments ..
doesn't honestly seem like it's prepared for only four of these birds
the eight other helicopters are rather a modified version as it seems to be.

Formation des pilotes Tunisien a Roswell air centre

Image
The U.S. Army has brought members of the Tunisian Air Force to Roswell for aircraft training. This Army program provides training and equipment to foreign militaries so they can better protect and provide security within their own countries, while also becoming better prepared to work jointly with the U.S. military if necessary. Tunisia is a U.S. ally located on Africa’s northern coast.
Equipment for the training operations, which involve a private company contracted by the Army, began to arrive at the Roswell International Air Center (RIAC) the first week of August. The first group of Tunisian Air Force pilots and aircraft maintenance personnel arrived the following week. More than 70 pilots and flight crew are scheduled to rotate in and out of Roswell during the six months the training is taking place at RIAC.

Well no one is stupid in here, let's calm down guys. I didn't know about the contract changes. I was thinking that the 12 BH will be the upgraded version that's why I mentioned the $700 million first contract. My bad if I did insult anyone with my comment.
