Considering what the fields cost (hundreds of thousands of dollars), this not a surprise to me at all.

The fact that it's COTS is also nice, as they don't need to get some things designed and welded.

$3k per field is not bad compared to the cost of the above engineering and fabrication time. It's also nothing compared to the cost of the field.
