SDB participation can be accomplished either by direct subcontracting or through the use of a ''mentoring'' or ''protege'' program wherein SDB's can be developed as a future source for environmental services. The use of a mentoring or protege program is highly encouraged. THE RELATIVE ORDER OF IMPORTANCE OF THE FACTORS IS AS FOLLOWS: Factor 1 is the most important factor for selection. The remaining factors are in descending order of importance.
