My company does work for local, state, and federal governments but 90% of our work is private. Should my details be public information? I work on projects paid for with government money.

Doubtful that second order payments would be worth tracking. If a judge tips a waitress $5 from his wallet, the waitress is getting paid with private funds, not tax dollars. If a judge tips a waitress with the county court house credit card, that might be something worth tracking, esp if the tip was $5000.

Oh sweet summer child. First order corruption happens in banana republics. The vast majority of corruption in OECD countries happens one or two orders out (or has been legalized like lobbying in the USA).
