The TSA Randomizer App Cost $336k
Let's assume a hefty markup for the long sales/BD time for a government contract like this: $336k * 0.60 = $200kSince this deals with national security, could probably justify higher rate resources staffing (security clearance required?). Ballpark $250/hr @ 8 hr/day so $200k buys you 100 days of capacity.Project breakdown:* UI/UX Design: 10 days (lots of stakeholders+approvals needed, maybe field testing with TSA agents, accessibility audit)* Development: 15 days (this is very conservative but might be some business rules that aren't being shared -- remote monitoring, analytics, auditing, static analysis, etc)* Project Management: 25 days* QA: 15 days (multiple devices, high perceived security exposure)* Third-party security audit/pen testing: 5 days* Technical writer for documentation and training materials: 5 daysTotal: 75 days of capacity spent.Math doesn't work out exactly and some of these numbers are pulled from thin air, but it seems like it's at least in the right ballpark.Do you folks really know people that are doing government contract work (for the TSA no less) for less than $100k?
