Almost everything the government makes IS public domain, including the software. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_status_of_works_by_the_federal_governm

  Just because it's public domain doesn't mean they are obliged to make it available to the public. As noted above, they do have to make it available to other government agencies, but it's the government's choice to place it in a public repository. All public domain means is that if you happen to acquire a copy of it, you can do whatever you like with it.
