The military contractors lobby the government for contracts. In exchange for campaign funds, a number of representatives and senators will include these contracts in the government's budget. If it were only a question on the merits, there would be no reason for military contractors like Blackwater to be hired since contractors are no more effective that the US Military and cost more per soldier.
People could not always protect their rights, so they made contracts with governments to protect them.
The Competition in Contracting Act (CICA) requires federal agencies to obtain full and open competition when awarding contracts, ensuring that all qualified vendors have an equal opportunity to compete for government contracts. The act mandates that contracts be awarded based on competitive procedures, which may include sealed bidding or competitive proposals. This promotes transparency, fairness, and efficiency in government procurement processes. Exceptions to this requirement exist but are limited and must be justified.
The Service Contract Act (SCA) requires government contractors performing service contracts to compensate their service employees fairly and equitably. This act mandates that contractors pay their service employees no less than the prevailing wage rates and benefits determined by the Department of Labor for similar work in the area. The SCA aims to ensure that workers are compensated appropriately for their labor on federal service contracts.

Setting aside government contracts for small business means that small businesses get a chance to compete for government jobs. If some weren't set aside, almost all government contracts would end up going only to large companies.
