Can a small business not receiving an award resubmit?
Yes, so long as the same essential work is not completed under more than one contract or grant in a fraudulent manner. Successful SBIR and STTR competitors often have the ability to present and complete work for multiple solicitations over a period of time that often overlap. Also, solicitation topics for one agency might be similar to solicitation topics for another agency. The small business may sometimes apply to either or both solicitations as a means to capture more awards, or increase their success percentage. Multiple award winners all had to start with a single award, learned the process while growing their companies and continuing to successfully capture awards.
