COTS - $36K per pound?

The Atlanic had a writeup on their website with a bunch of numbers for
Falcon9/Dragon and COTS. One was $1.6 billion for SpaceX's COTS
contract. The other was a minimum of 44,000 pounds of cargo to the
station. That works-out to $80,000 per kg (even, leading me to
suspect the contract was done in kg and The Atlantic is just using
more familiar to US folks units) Where does that price per KG stand in
the overall scheme of things?
