If a Purchase Requisition has not been awarded by contracting, what status is it in?

When a Purchase Requisition has not been awarded by contracting, it is in the "Pre-Award modification" status. This status indicates that the requisition has been initiated and is under consideration, but the formal awarding or acceptance of the procurement is still pending.

In this stage, the requisition may still be subject to changes or modifications before it progresses to an award. It signifies that the procurement process is active, and the requisition has not yet moved to being fully executed or accepted by contracting authorities, which would lead to a different status such as "Approved" or "Completed."

The other statuses, including "Completed," imply that the requisition process has been finalized, whereas "Cancelled" indicates that the requisition is no longer pursued. Thus, the status of "Pre-Award modification" accurately reflects that the requisition is still in the early stages of the purchasing process, waiting for further action before it can be awarded.
