Because bribes won't give themselves. Obvious sarcasm, but there's a reason why the government really sucks at accomplishing anything technically elaborate: they simply don't care if it's any good, nor do they care how much it costs or how long it takes. It's not their money or their property. If it does well, nobody will see an extra dime. If it sucks, nobody will get fired. That's how you get $5K screwdrivers and $30K toilet seats, and half a million dollar aircraft carrier toilet flushes.
