Lower prices for their product almost certainly will make them less profitable. They would have to raise prices to other governments. This is not rocket science... companies do it all the time, the drug companies do it all the time. Frankly with government contracts if the vendor can show cost issues the governments are usually more than willing to allow a price increase. Hospitals in Japan pay less than 1/2 what a hospital in the US pays for an MRI machine.
