I thought the deal with all these things is that the unit prices on items don't mean anything, and that they tend to be a negotiated total price (for whatever DoD is buying --- not "soap dispensers" but like "the entire C-17 program for FY2024") that's just weirdly spread over everything, so you end up spending like $15/screw, but everyone knows the actual game.

Is that not what's happening here?
