Going over the list I see contracts for such items as "telecommunications" in the $17 million dollar range.
Going into further detail, scroll down on that page, and it's broken down by the five most expensive items:
Adpe System Configuration
Other ADP & Telecommunications Svcs
It and Telecom- Other It and Telecommunications
Other Professional Services
It and Telecom- Systems Development
Going yet even further, it details the companies involved:
Groupe Cgi Inc
Carahsoft Technology Corporation
Everware-Cbdi North America, INC.
This is not one contract for one project or one website. This is 114 contracts and 379 sub contracts done the Department of Health and Services Department over a five year period. And most likely only a portion of it is related to Obamacare.

The search is by contract number. So everything related to that contract is tied to it. You can tell "cgi federal" setup multiple "companies" just by looking at some of the names. So CGI Federal calls up his buddy in Washington and says "Hey I can't figure out how to run wordpress so we need to contract this out to someone else." Buddy in Washington makes another request for bids and CGI federal sets up another dummy corp to bid and win the other contract.
