You would think so.  My limited experience with government programming
shops and web applications would be that, due to the pay gap vs. private
industry, the talent pool would be limited.

They'd either wind up with something not too secure or some "closed
source" application that was created "for government use" by a third-party.

That experience comes from watching employee turn over rates, and also from
working on disaster recovery exercises, where your inadvertantly learn some
things about what the web apps are doing in the background (like making
calls to servers for CSS, etc., that are outside of the government server
network).  Lots of "no-nos" can be exposed when doing disaster recovery on
a closed network.  ;)
