Supplier power may include the availability of cleared or specialized talent and important technology inputs. The threat of new entrants depends on credentials, past performance, contract access and compliance capabilities.

Price is better examined through contract economics, labor mix, scope, risk and value requirements than through consumer-style list pricing.
