Debriefings in Federal Procurement: Key Rules and Strategies

For contractors, a debriefing is key to judging whether the evaluation process was fairly conducted, and if there is grounds for a bid protest. Debriefings convey the basis of the agency’s evaluation and selection decision and assist offerors in improving future proposals.
