Pre-Qualification

Definition

Pre-Qualification is the process of evaluating potential contractors before solicitation to establish eligibility for competition. PQ requirements may include technical capabilities, certifications, past performance, and financial stability.

PQ programs streamline subsequent competitions by pre-screening contractors. Understanding PQ requirements helps contractors maintain qualification status. PQ submissions require ongoing attention to currency and accuracy.
