How the BRS process works
 
  Step 1:
Identify Need/Draft Customer Requirements Document 		 
  Step 2:
Vendors Respond to CRS		  
  Step 3:
BRS/Customer Evaluates Vendor Responses "Best Value"		  
  Step 4:
Customer Sends Funding to BRS Office		  
  Step 5:
Award/Execute/Invoice		  
The LMR communications need is identified, a Customer Requirements Statement (CRS) with Source Selection Criteria is prepared, the CRS is offered to the appropriate BRS contract holders, reponses (proposals) are submitted, proposals are evaluated, and the delivery order is awarded to the selected contractor. BRS is a rapid contracting vehicle.
