Government Grants and Contracts for Indie Game Studios
summary
Indie studios can win federal and state work: two real contracts exist at city and state levels and agencies pay reliably if requirements are met. Primary grant routes are SBIR/SBTT style programs for tech and research; software publishers often use NAICS 511210. Contract types matter: Cost‑plus suits research, Firm‑Fixed‑Price suits goods, and Time‑and‑Materials suits game devs (typical 15–35% markup). Register on sam.gov, keep clean books, a tax ID, correct NAICS, and prepare a capability‑focused proposal.
