Q&A, SBAHQ-15-Q-0040, ScaleUp America as of 09 June 2015

*PLEASE NOTE THIS SOLICITATION IS NOT A GRANT OPPORTUNITY*

Q1. The Iowa Center for Economic Success is very interested in applying for this. We currently operate the only Women’s Business Center in the State of Iowa (and have since the 1990s). Does this funding come in conflict with WBC?

A1. Entities that are currently under grant agreements to operate Women’s Business Centers and are registered in the System for Award Management are welcome to submit a proposal. The funding, scope and implementation of ScaleUp shall remain independent and non-duplicative of any other SBA funding source or activity. In other words, any activities or services provided to small businesses and entrepreneurs under the ScaleUp America contract must be in addition to any present requirements under other SBA agreements, and any and all metrics/outcomes shall not be double-counted among other SBA-funded activities.

Q2. In reference to point 1, can our operation of WBC count as “Entrepreneurship Education Curriculum: Delivery of a proven, existing curriculum…” ?

A2. No. While the operation of a WBC may be presented as favorable information for past experience/prior performance in this action, all offerors must identify the specific curriculum it will use in the implementation of ScaleUP America. Please see pg. 5 of the Statement of Objectives that describes the minimum requirements of the existing curriculum for growth-oriented entrepreneurs and small business owners.
