If a proposal was selectable but then disqualified during the award process for clerical errors such as SAM registration status, can the error be corrected to receive an award?

No. A disqualification for not meeting the solicitation requirements cannot be reversed for that specific solicitation. However, you are welcome to correct the error and apply again during a future solicitation. Be sure to carefully read the new solicitation’s instructions, as requirements often change.
