knockout criteria
I have also seen make-or-break criteria used, but generally in a different context.
HTH!
(Of course if there is really only a single factor named that will eliminate the contract or bid from consideration, then singular: criterion.)

potential rejection/exit criterion
in the sense that
a) this criterion is applied prior to contract award (i.e. during the procedure of selecting the best bidder)
= bidder rejection criterion
or
b) criterion is applied to contract awarded (concluded)
= exit/withdrawal criterion
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-08-02 10:48:45 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
possible reformulation in case b):
criterion to exit/withdraw from contract
--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2002-08-02 10:51:19 (GMT)
--------------------------------------------------
However, case a) seems more likely IMO since the original sounds like being an analysis of draft contracts which should ultimately lead to selection of the best contract from the customer\'s point of view.

: This is certainly a) and refers to a criterion that must be met otherwise the entire proposal is rejected.

Potential project stoppers
Typically though in the Automotive industry we use it to mean the criteria needed for us to stop the project from continuing, (usually due to unwanted product concerns or cost issues.)
We do also say KO criteria, could also say potential project stopping criteria. How about "Project cessation criteria"?
