I was also curious about the somewhat inflated prices.
Looking through some of the documents linked below, I understand a little more. These purchases are being made using the HGAC purchasing cooperatives, so no bids were needed. They also added a lot of options and upgrades to the base price. Definitely fully loaded, no expense spared it seems. The contract includes stainless steel construction, extended warranties, and also includes loose equipment, radios, computers, and installation.
Here's some more information on the award, breaks down the cost a little more on the Engine purchase:
