I peeled the plastic logo off the front of my computer and discovered a
couple rectagonal holes where female USB A connectors could go. The
mainboard has USB headers to connect to front panel USB connectors. I would
like to locate suppliers of the female USB A connectors that case
manufacturers use so I can install a couple and connect them to the
mainboard. Does anyone know of such suppliers? TIA.

You would need to get a bracket made specifically for the box you have.
Another alternative would be a drive bay unit made with USB ports with cable
to header. Tigerdirect.com has some:

Do you know who supplies the case manufacturers with these brackets?

If you look at the site Paul refers to, and look at the panel mount cables.
Those are pretty standard, but depending upon the case manufacturer, there
will be a bracket that it needs, for your particular case
