The other difference is if you had to open source anything sold to the USG then no one would sell anything closed source to the USG.

And there's lots of useful software the government wants to buy that is closed source.

The usg, for whatever that piece of software says on the tin. Unless you are just asking if there is any closed source software anywhere which provides value not totally replicable using oss, which seems like a silly question.
