Explanation
A screening system establishes minimum, non-negotiable requirements that vendors must meet just to be considered for a contract. Requiring at least four licensed electricians is a pass/fail threshold - vendors who don't meet it are immediately disqualified. This is the definition of a screening system. A scoring model (B) would assign points to vendor attributes and rank them; it doesn't eliminate anyone outright. Evaluation criteria (D) is a broader term that encompasses how proposals are assessed overall, while a screening system is a specific subset used for baseline qualification filtering.
