I don’t know how to tell you this, but virtually all of the work done for the spacecraft and launch vehicles and such for Apollo was done by private contractors, defense contractors. This is no different except the companies are pitching in much of the funding and will be paying for their own missions with their vehicles (well, at least SpaceX is).
