We're a consulting firm doing a lot of work for various agencies in the
US Fed Govt. All of our projects have at least one PostgreSQL database
involved. These are either the main database repositories or the db
behind the web server for reporting purposes.

Even though Oracle is the preferred dbms for the US govt, these project
managers love it when we show them the cost savings for using pg.

i know that the following agencies/projects are using pg for some part
of their work:
US Agency for International Development (USAID) - Dept of State
Inter-Agency Working Group (IAWG) - Dept of State
DisabilityDirect.gov - Dept of Labor
General Services Administration (GSA)
Terrorism Awareness - Dept of State
