Not likely. It's actually quite literal: Some federal contracts do require U.S. citizenship to be eligible for employment.

Government contractors often have postings for multiple contracts or positions and not all may have this requirement.

I think the point of the question is not what are the literal facts, but rather what do they mean in practical terms for applicants.

Ad Hoc employee here -- this is spot on.

This abysmal response suggests that there are no non-US citizens currently employed there and nobody knows how it would work if one was hired. Good to know! I’ll be interested to hear when someone finally guinea pigs it.

Yea, I do know that. What I don't know is whether that makes up 95% of their work and the other 5% is maintaining a COBOL app? Yea no thanks.

edit: "quite literal" is absolutely worthless. It would be "quite literal" to post a job saying "You will definitely be paid", and it would convey no information at all.
