Considering this is for a government contract I doubt it would be outsourced to other countries. Fed, state, or local projects almost always require U.S. citizenship or at minimum green card status (at least for the Federal level). Any people involved on that project also goes through a basic level of background/security check.
As everyone else stated, depending on the size and complexity the price could have ballooned. On top of the normal user experience design tasks and personnel pricing, the final price could involve sending multiple personnel to the CMS's training program, the time involved for content migration into the new CMS, development licenses for the contracting company, etc. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
