.... turned over to a "private company". The Maven system is a top secret system that is fully and completely under the military's control. Nothing has been turned over.

This is very similar to any data system - a data base, for instance - that contains classified information. The government does not turn over data to the data base software vendor. The vendor licenses the data base to the government, and may provide consulting in setting it up, loading data, etc., but the government does not turn over the data to the vendor. The government controls the system and the data.
