contracts = "government is a customer." the government wants a job done and you (the contractor) are paid to do it.
grants depend. grants can be "government wants someone to develop a technology/engineering capability and is paying you to do it if you can show that you're the best candidate". definitely a subsidy but not necessarily a handout.
