The factors above are listed in descending order of importance. Capability levels within each factor are listed in ascending order of preference. All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.

Price will increase in importance as competing proposals approach equality in non-price factors or when Price is so significantly high as to diminish the value of technical superiority to the Government.
