25% overhead is entirely too much.
Maybe so, but it's a lot less than the overhead in most (if not all)
manufacturing companies.

Government projects are typically 30% overhead. It is not known for
efficiency. Recall the $600 hammer? The $4500 microwave? The
government has no reason to be effecient, it does not need to make a
profit, just collect tax money.
Uh, the government doesn't make hammers, it buys them, so what its overhead
has to do with that of a manufacturing company you need to explain.
