Gov contracts are insane. We say that we represent everything from building bombs to cleaning johns. Basically, until the gov decides to in-source, if the private sector can do it the government has to pay for it. Also, the reason why prices are more expensive is because when the gov puts out a solicitation or procurement etc, they put down specifications that the contractor must follow. So even in paper you get built in extra cost just because. No lie, I have seen contracts/ors who cover tissue paper sue because they found out that a gov. employee did not like their tissue and went and bought a box of a competitor brand.
And people say government cannot create jobs... the largest contractor in the entire world is the United States Government.
