There is a difference between a $200,000 contract and one that brings
in hundreds of millions in a year. The back end repository is trivial
-- its the management of a couple of database machines and nothing
more. The contract is also going to be awarded collectively by the
users of the service (that is, the registrars) so it is likely that
some control will be exercised to assure that the cost is as low as
possible.
