Is there an important difference there? If it’s a contractor doing official government business, the fact it’s a contractor, and not running software written by public servants on metal that sits on US government property… is more of an implementation detail, isn’t it? The system would have the same importance and function, and contain the same data, whether or not this particular function had been outsourced.
