A denial does not bar the firm from a later award cycle
What the document says“a policy that clarifies that receipt of an award decision denying an application does not prohibit the small business concern from being eligible for an award in a subsequent award cycle;”
Subparagraph (B) of each newly inserted paragraph calls for a policy. The policy clarifies that receiving an award decision that denies an application does not prohibit the small business concern from being eligible for an award in a later award cycle. The same words go into subsection (g) and subsection (o).
What the document actually says“a policy that clarifies that receipt of an award decision denying an application does not prohibit the small business concern from being eligible for an award in a subsequent award cycle;”
Being turned down once does not shut a firm out. The firm can still ask for an award next time.
The agency has to write this down as a policy. That way a firm knows a no is not forever.
