Ids evaluation

I want to buy and install an intrusion detection system.  Our purchasing
department is telling me that I have to provide a list of specifications for an
intrusion detection system that can be used to evaluate the features of
competing products.  Given the little I know of the different approaches that
IDS systems use, this seems a difficult task.  From time to time I have been
surprised by the high levels of ability of people posting on this list and I
think that some of them must have been through this evaluation process before.

Can anyone e-mail me a starting point for evaluation specifications please, or
point me to a good source?
