Exactly, almost every competively bid govt contract goes to some amount of litigation. 
  
 The big defense contractors team up on bids now and sometimes will even share parts of contracts amongst themselves to reduce litigation expenses if at all possible. 
  
 The US defense industry has consolidated so much that there is very limited competition left so the govt is paying a lot of money for what they are getting.
