Uhh, the entire contract is a form of corporate welfare. So yes, the DoW giving money to these companies is a handout.
Just because it benefits them doesn't mean it's not a handout, especially when said money could be used elsewhere for purposes that actually benefit everyone and not a dozen people living in SF.
