What the document says
“The Federal agency shall complete any contract awards using strategic breakthrough allocation funds not later than 90 days after receiving a proposal from a small business concern for the award.”
Subparagraph (C)(iii) sets a deadline. The Federal agency completes any contract award made with allocation funds no later than 90 days after it receives the firm's proposal for that award.
What the document actually says
“The Federal agency shall complete any contract awards using strategic breakthrough allocation funds not later than 90 days after receiving a proposal from a small business concern for the award.”
That sentence, in plain words
The agency has 90 days to finish the deal. The clock starts when the firm sends in its plan.
What this is about
Small firms can run out of cash while they wait. This sets a limit on the wait.
