Getting onto the allowed vendor list for the US Government is a dire process even for the largest of global service companies, by design by the folks already on the list.

I was able to work as an individual as a subcontractor for a subcontractor for a company on the list. Rates aren't as high, but with federal regulations (for now) mandating that subcontractors be paid as soon as the primary contract holder was paid meant that there was 0 chasing after invoices which is actually very nice.
