Government contractors are working on behalf of the government. Ergo, not civilian. What sources have you checked for (1)? A counter example I would put forward is a police officer. They are not a civilian, nor are they military. What are they? Civilians in government can be a thing to distinguish military, but the actions of civilians on behalf of government are not civilian actions. Eg: "I am a civilian, I work for the government. When I do things on behalf of the government, it is not as a civilian."
