   and procedures.

   (iv) Procedures allowing for bids that are contingent on specified
   conditions, such as other bids being accepted.

   winning bid.

   (A) Procedures that utilize mathematical computer optimization
   software, such as integer programming, to evaluate bids and technical
   feasibility, or that utilize other decision routines, such as
   sequentially evaluating bids using a ranking based on specified
   factors.

   (B) Procedures that combine computer optimization algorithms with other
   decision routines.

   (iii) Procedures to incorporate public interest considerations into the
   process for assigning winning bids.

   (3) Procedures for determining payments. (i) Procedures to determine
   the amount of any incentive payments made to winning bidders consistent
