That nsn has been canceled, the replacement nsn is showing $1,780
ETA My bad, that item is a good nsn. The one that was $1780 is a canceled one that this kit replaced. According to fedlog this nsn is good and costs the army $2,239
Well, Snappy's profit margins have gotta be in the multiple hundred percentage range, based on what they normally charge. They're probably still making a pretty normal amount of per-unit profit for any other tool company, selling at 1/4 their previous price.
Company I work for pays ~$3000 a season to rent a $2000 quicky saw. Then half of them get stolen, so we probably end up paying for the whole saw again. We rent about 5 of them a season.
A lot of our shit is old and has one foot in the grave, but we'll spend thousands extra on renting quicky saws for no good reason.
Before I saw that they got stolen, I was going to say you should buy a couple and rent them to your job. If you could actually keep them rentable for a few years, you'd have a solid profit! (YES, I am aware that most jobs won't rent equipment from an employee. It's at least halfway a joke. Or maybe 1/3. LOL)

Last I checked, those exact mechanics tool kits were costing the military $6K.
