SPC Kimiya McKelvey - I'm not certain there is a 'best' way to secure a contracting job with the military unless you are referring to being a government contractor which is a different matter altogether.
If you have a business and seek business from government agencies go to http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/cpic/cp/ which will take you to the DOD home page and follow the procedures.
To see if the military is looking for your services, contact your state representative whose staff should be able to provide you with the list of government supplier needs for your type of services.
The list is all inclusive so you would have to sort through it to find the local opportunities.
The same procedure would be used if you have a product you wish to sell to the government.
If you are seeking employment as a government contractor - that is someone who is deployable as civilian contractor to the government, check out the website on this subject by typing into your browser "How to become a civilian contractor to the government" and read the related details which are very accurate in terms of the 'how to' part of getting set up, registered and vetted.
I hope this helps and good luck with your endeavors.

Depends on where and what you’re looking for I’m a government contractor now as a J and it’s pretty easy but getting in was a headache because of the “who you know thing”. I did end up getting hired (after applying for 3 years) because my brother literally put me on the phone with the manager whom remembered me from last years interviews. It shouldn’t have been that way as I had more than 5 years in logistics but
