Key Terms & Evaluation Framework

80/20 Preference Point Scoring System: A standardized public procurement evaluation model where 80 points are allocated to price competitiveness and 20 points to specific socio-economic goals. Points for specific goals are awarded based on ownership structures meeting minimum thresholds: 51% black-owned, 51% women-owned, 51% owned by persons with disabilities, or 51% owned by youth. Failure to meet these thresholds results in zero points for that category.

Responsiveness Criterion: Mandatory compliance requirements that determine whether a submission qualifies for further evaluation. Non-compliance with these baseline criteria typically leads to immediate disqualification.
