(2) The extent of participation of such firms in terms of the value of the total acquisition in percentages for the base year and for each individual option year; the extent of commitment to use such firms (for example, enforceable commitments, i.e., teaming agreements signed, are to be considered more heavily than non-enforceable ones);
