RS
Requirement Specification
Definition
A Requirement Specification is a document that defines the functional, performance, and technical characteristics that a deliverable must satisfy. RS documents translate user needs into specific, measurable criteria that guide contractor performance and acceptance testing.
Well-written requirement specifications are clear, complete, consistent, and verifiable. They distinguish between mandatory requirements and desired features, enabling contractors to propose compliant solutions and evaluators to assess compliance objectively. Understanding how to interpret and respond to requirement specifications is essential for successful proposal development and contract performance.
