Hi Will,
You may want to contact the folks at DevIS, who have done quite a bit of
government oriented work (see http://www.devis.com/AboutDevIS/)
You can also contact Platinum Solutions, who have done some work for
various government agencies
(http://www.platinumsolutions.com/successstories/
I also know that the Fred II site runs on PostgreSQL
(http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/) which contains federal economic
data.
Also if you just need some general case studies, we have a few available
at http://advocacy.postgresql.org/casestudies/ including a link to the
Dravis Group report which covers the conversion of the .org tld from
Oracle to a PostgreSQL based solution.
Hope this helps,
Robert Treat
