You shouldn’t have to beat the pavement too long. These programs already have set rates and fees that a lender can charge so all lenders are going to be the same in terms of dollar amount and interst rate. What you may want to focus on is seeing if the lenders offer any sort of incentives or discounts from the Program rates. This applied to the student loan industry, I am not certain if it might also apply to the VA Programs or Chafa programs.

Big thing here is really figuring out which Program is going to be your best bet. VA, CHAFA, or CALVET. Once you ahve this figured out finding a lender is going to be easy.
