This is an excellent question. I can imagine the difficulty of such clause would be to quantify the value that was diminished due to a breach in financial terms. Most likely the case is that the government has a vested interest in keeping tight security over their program - from engineering to manufacturing and small suppliers rely on security engagement from the gov. Big suppliers such as General Dynamics and Northrop Grumman, I am sure security breaches are taken very seriously and it would impact future supplier selection process and bidding.
