Government contracting comes for a fair bit of comment and criticism here. A lot of it is justified but I also think there are misconceptions. For example, Cost plus fixed fee does not mean you can overrun and still make a profit. The fee is fixed at inception. In an overrun situation you may recover your incurred costs but you progressively dilute your profit - something that the executive suite watches very closely.
