This is very common. I work as a contractor, and recruiters (for permanent and contracting work) very often contact me to work in projects I am already in. I mean it makes sense, living close by is one of the major bonuses when I decide to take a project; the farther away the less likely I'll take it - especially since the companies usually have a fixed hourly rate in mind, and the farther I live away the less likely I would be able to compete with local contractors that can offer lower rates - so I don't even waste time to go through the application process.
