Q&A. Compliance, e.g. correctly storing the data, while allowing audited access. Ongoing, around the clock support. Etc

Not that it doesn't make sense to look into government overspending in IT, it happens all the time. But this angle of approaching it is ineffective at best.

Yeah, I know. There's always a huge gap from opensource-bandaid-weekend projects and a real production system.

But still, $86M is obscenely yuuuge.
