If you sign the agreement and do not receive a bid, you would be eligible.

And if you don't sign it at all, you might get a snap bid but you can turn it down and still go thru colony recruitment. They would phone you after bid matching and offer it if there is one. If you turn it down it has no impact on your abililty to go thru colony recruitment - ONLY if you sign the bid card and match to one of THOSE groups only.
