“Government work” is what one does for oneself in a shop on company time using company tools, machinery and materials. “Government work” “hides” the fact that you are stealing company resources by implying that it’s a secret, off the books, project. But since everyone knows what “government work” means you really aren’t hiding anything, you’re sharing an inside joke.
When someone says “that’s good enough for government work,” they are admitting that they are doing less than perfect work because it’s just for their personal use.

Worker 1: What’s that? It doesn’t look like any of our usual products.
Worker 2: I can’t tell you, It’s government work.
Worker 1: It looks like a part for your new motorcycle.

A Lowest Bidder's or Military Grade standard of consistent and adequate, but otherwise unimpressive work, without the quality of a competitive market. A done job. Not well done, but done.
This can also apply to imprecise but likewise adequate usage of deadly force with too much time and budget constraints to perfectly avoid all collateral damage and casualties.

Person 1: The rifle can just barely hit a watermelon at 500 yards's distance.
Person 2: It's not a sniper rifle. That sort of accuracy is more than accurate enough for government work.

Government taxis come in many forms, but most often they have some local common characteristics.
The larger variants include a separate traveling section for the customers.
Differing from other taxis the government pays for your trip. The pick up is available everywhere, but unfortunately they only stop in one place, a government provided accommodation service. The government taxi usually does not require a specific call, just break a showcase and wait.
On the trip you are usually accompanied by two people dressed in blue, to provide safety. They also usually assist you and walk you to your accommodation, even preparing the required paperwork.

I’ve really got to get away from this woman and spend some time doing a bunch of paper work before coitus with this government issued jetski. Jay is gay.
