I've seen some of my "cost plus fee" government contracts I've worked on in the past; the fee (profit) was only around ~3.5%.

Not saying this is a typical fee on government contracts, but the company I was working for (big dollar government contractor) was happy with that.

Sure but in that case the risk is small and the base is large.
