There is no way you would get anything close to as good as JIRA. Your best bet with that budget would be trying to integrate an existing open source on-prem solution (not sure what that alternative is for JIRA).

It would be hard to do worse. A packet of crayons and a scrap of paper is better than JIRA.
How many Post-it Notes will $50K buy?
Oh please.
Yes, you wouldn't get something near as complicatedas JIRA, but that would be a good thing! Look, it's enterprise software, so I'm sure there's somewhere that needs to have the overcomplicated permissions system otherwise contractors are going to steal everything that isn't bolted down, but most places I've been don't need, and thus don't use most of all of that crap. If the ticket can only go from planned to done by a certain group of users, backed by LDAP... let's just say, I'm not going to miss configuring which group gets which permissions system.
JIRA's the perfect example of disruption, too. Everyone's got their bespoke workflow, and JIRA has to be customizable to suit all of them. Bespoke software just doesn't have to the same way.
Jira is crap, so the bar is low.
