You can, but the government has to jump through a lot of hoops. Even government contractors have to jump through a lot of hoops. Sometimes there are regulations affecting the hiring process even for government contractors, e.g. drug tests, citizenship requirements, background checks, location requirements, etc. Every relevant law named after a sympathetic child adds $5B to development costs. And so forth.
