What is the process if I submit an application and it is not processed and approved prior to a bid date? Can I submit a bid?

No. The Contractor Pre-Qualification Application form has a space where the applicant may list the project, including the bid date, that they are interested in bidding. If the application is submitted at least two (2) weeks prior to the bid date and if the applicant identifies his desire to bid on a particular project, OFPM will make every attempt to approve the applicant prior to the bid date of the project listed.
