$275.50 per 1 million orders

There will be 420 million orders according to sources online, which gets us to $115,710. Very interesting - thank you for the analysis.

I filed a FOIA request to GSA to see how much they spent on the website to build it and any third parties used. They referred me to the FDA, guessing they paid for it.

That's awesome - how did you go about FOIA-ing things? I've always wanted to know more about how to do that.

Its fairly easy actually but you have to be specific or they will charge you $$. So long as you arent wanting like the nuke codes or the location of Hoffa, they are helpful. Last one I did took a few months and I got a big packet in the mail. Cost me $10 or $20 I think.

That's incredibly cheap.
