It’s due to the government not being able to compete on salary due to federal salary schedule limitations.

The joke is they can easily pay a contractor 150$/hour though. But can’t pay an employee hourly wage of 100$/hour

I believe employee wage ceiling is something more like $75/hr, and that would be for a job description like "you run the department of commerce"
