A performance-based specification defines what the system must achieve (e.g., detection rate, response time), without specifying how to achieve it. This allows vendors flexibility in choosing technologies that meet required outcomes.
B (Feature-based) and C (Results-based) are loosely defined or incorrect terms in procurement standards.
D (Cost-based) focuses on budget, not system performance.
