Most government bidding processes are, in and of themselves, a high barrier to entry.

Much of this is by design because the companies with the government influence to fix the problem are the ones who created it.

Yes, definitely.

Most government bidding processes would be improved by simplifying them drastically. Eg highest bidder wins. Instead of the beauty contests with lots of different factors that need evaluation by politicians.
