Now to be fair... $93.7m at $170 per hour is 551,176 billable hours. Now, it's certainly not a one man job--maybe a team of 20 ought to do it? That leaves 27,558 hours per person. Divide that by 40 and it looks like you're going to be running a team of 20 for 688 weeks at 40 hours per week of billable hours. 688 weeks is 13 years.
So that amount will get you a team of 20 working for 13 years straight. Bump it up to a team of 40 and you get 6.5 years.
One thing I learnt, corporate IT believes in quantity over quality. It's definitely more than 20 people - I would guess maybe 200 people worked on the project.

Regardless, I'm in the wrong business...
The calculations also work out for a team of 30 working for $50/hour and 5 guys with really large yachts
This tracks with other government contracts I've heard about. Although it's usually 2-3 guys with a couple yachts.
And I'm not kidding about the yachts. Actual confirmed yacht purchases.

You're not looking at most of what it's doing even though: LARGE scale inter-operation with hideous legacy systems (dozens of them).
