If you specifically want a contracting job, then yes, you need to apply to the contracting firms that have won the contracts in the area you are interested in. Accenture, CGI, Booz Allen, Deloitte, Boeing, General Dynamics, CACI are some of the usual suspects. Most contractors never become feds.
If you want an actual federal job, then for the most part you apply for jobs on usajobs.com.
True most don’t, but at our office vast majority were contractors first.
