   1. 1) First-time applicants for CDB prequalification.
   2. 2) Firms who sent a renewal application that arrived at CDB after the prequalification expiration date or could not reasonably be processed before the expiration date.
   3. 3) Firms who sent a renewal application that was incomplete or insufficient, so that CDB could not reasonably process the application before the expiration date.
