$80K? That's peanuts. Government projects that are outsourced run in the 10's or in some rare cases even 100's of millions of $/E/YourFavoriteCurrency and get cancelled because of non-delivery with alarming regularity.

I see a lot of outsourcing deals in my daily practice, 70% or so ends well, 20% ends with a lot of friction and 10% or so fails utterly leaving the contractor with a damaged reputation and the contracting party out a lot of money. It's not rare to see these end up in court.

You really need to do research on any company that you want to outsource part of your development work to. Talk to their other customers, get to know the people in the team that will do the actual work, in other words: do your homework.

If you don't you're going to end up in trouble, more or less guaranteed.
