One firm may receive up to $30,000,000 over a period of no more than 48 months
What the document says“A Federal agency may award from a strategic breakthrough allocation not more than $30,000,000 to a small business concern, including its affiliates, in a single award or series of awards based on reaching production or development milestones, if the total period of performance of the project with respect to which such funds are awarded is not more than 48 months.”
Subparagraph (C)(i) of the new paragraph caps what one firm may draw from the allocation. The cap is $30,000,000 to a small business concern including its affiliates. It may come as a single award or as a series of awards paid on reaching production or development milestones. The cap applies only if the total period of performance of the project is 48 months or less.
What the document actually says“A Federal agency may award from a strategic breakthrough allocation not more than $30,000,000 to a small business concern, including its affiliates, in a single award or series of awards based on reaching production or development milestones, if the total period of performance of the project with respect to which such funds are awarded is not more than 48 months.”
An agency can give a firm up to $30 million from the pot. It can pay it all at once. It can also pay in steps as the work hits its marks. The work must be done in four years.
The cap counts the firm and any firm it is tied to. So a firm cannot get more by splitting itself up. Four years is the longest the job can run.
