Haliburton?

Well, I suspect that the at least one other bidder can do the job or they wouldn't have been considered. You generally have to qualify for government contracts before you're allowed to bid.

So, logic would tell me that they're (make that we're) paying Haliburton twice what we would be paying another qualified bidder.

Here's another perspective: we're paying the salaries and benefits of AMERICANS first and foremost, rather than Germany, etc. So a big chunk of that cash is coming right back home.
