Well, yes and no.  I am simply curious as to what the acronym FITS in this 
context actually stands for.  Or is it just a random set of four letters 
someone decided to give as the name for the system?

Although I think you did answer the underlying "question", which is the fact 
that FITS is, apparently, an "IBM requirements entry system" or some such 
thing.  So rather than being a type of requirement, which is what I had though, 
it is the system in which the requirement is entered. 

Thanks!
