When can businesses expect to hear if they are invited to the Pitch Day event after the solicitation closes?

When U.S. DOT’s SBIR solicitation uses the two-step process with a Pitch Day event, all responsive offerors will be notified of their evaluation status at the time those offered to participate in Pitch Day are notified. This notice is normally within 35 days of the solicitation closing date and 25-30 days prior to the Pitch Day event.
