Requirements-to-Award Process

The Requirements-to-Award Process (RAP) is the internal NMCI process whereby client service and solution requests/proposals are prioritized, reviewed, approved, and negotiated between EDS, vendors, and the government.The intent of the process is to bring all client solutions and services onto the NMCI contract in a consistent manner whereby task orders can be placed for service.

This process comprises four basic steps:

Review and prioritize requests
Develop proposal and determine pricing
Negotiate and sign contracts with vendor and government
Apply task orders and deliver service

All proposals are entered and tracked in a joint EDS and government application known as the RAP Tool. Each proposal is given a tracking number and reports are generated on a regular basis to track the aging, status, and progress of each proposal throughout the RAP Process.

For Navy personnel needing access to the RAP Tool, please contact your contract technical representative (CTR) or local EDS claimant manager for more information. If you have additional questions or need further information, please contact us at NMCISupplierEngagement@eds.com.
