I have also scrounged the Internet looking for examples of Postgres being used in government, preferably in 24x7 capacities.
I find googling for vendors who are known to use PostgreSQL and searching for people's resumes is a good way to find descriptions of Government projects along with contacts for references. Here's a couple that look interesting.
US Navy, Northrop Grumman
Use PostgreSQL in the Navy Enterprise Portal and the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center(FNMOC) Portal:

" Develop J2EE application to store user profiles for the Navy
Enterprise Portal and the Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography
Center(FNMOC) Portal using JBoss application server and
PostgreSQL database.
"
DOD, USGS, USDA, Army Corp of Engineers, Navy, through a company called Sanz:

Sanz manages
"tens of terrabyte datasets of raster and vector
data for the DOD, USGS, USDA, Army Corp of
Engineers, Navy, etc."
