The US government, especially the military, is largely allergic to software. This is slowly starting to change, but only in small pockets. I am aware of three software teams in the military but they are highly specialized with small dedicated customers.
I have tried several times to get Node.js into the military on approved software lists for internal development and its a huge struggle. I suspect the main culprits are due to valid security concerns regarding package managers like NPM and old ignorant thinking about open source being either immature or open software being a wide open exploitation vector. That is really tough because there aren't official binaries of Node without NPM and ignorant thinking about open source is really persistent.
