Review and Renew

Applications are reviewed in the order received. A reviewer will communicate with you through email so check your email regularly after submitting your application. If your company does not respond to requests within a two-week period, the application will be closed, and you will need to re-submit.

If your application is approved, you'll receive a link to your electronic certificate, which is valid for 1 year. You may renew your prequalification status 90 days prior to expiration. In order to continue participation without interruption, renew early!
