What IN AUDIT Status Means
IN AUDIT means your business is in active review, not ignored and not non-compliant. It shows you entered a formal oversight process and are working against a defined checklist. Contracting teams can see you are in motion with real accountability, not making unsupported claims.
How Fast
Most applicants can move from intake to an IN AUDIT document in 24 to 72 hours once required materials are submitted. If records are organized, turnaround can be same day. Speed is built for live bids and deadline-driven procurement cycles.
What It Covers
- Buy American Act (BAA) — Confirms your sourcing path is being reviewed for domestic preference alignment.
- Federal Acquisition Regulation 25.1 (FAR 25.1) — Shows your file is mapped to core federal buy-American purchasing rules.
- Defense supplement clause 252.225-7001 (DFARS 252.225-7001) — Indicates defense-related country-of-origin checks are in scope.
- Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M) — Documents what remains, who owns it, and when each fix will be completed.
How Contracting Officers Use This Document
Officers use IN AUDIT status as evidence of active compliance progress when timing is critical. Federal agencies, state procurement offices, school districts, and defense contractors all recognize IN AUDIT as a valid pre-certification status for vendor qualification.
IN AUDIT vs Certified
IN AUDIT means active review is underway with documented oversight. Certified means review is complete and requirements were fully met at issuance.
