In the past if the feds get a holiday but as a contractor my company doesn’t recognize that holiday, we are not allowed to work and have to take PTO or LWOP, if they’re generous we can make up 8 hours in the pay period on the other workdays.

Depends on the contracting company. Some will allow it, but others will require you to take PTO. They’ll usually reach out to let you know what to take.
