How We’re Working to Improve • Increased communications

– Expanding use of less formal Industry Communication sessions Modeled after sessions started by PEO STRI Now being used at all ACC centers

– Formal Advance Planning Briefings to Industry– More engagement with industry associations (AUSA, NCMA, etc)

• Earlier involvement of DCAA and DCMA to minimize contract admin/closeout issues – DCMA/DCAA participation in post award conferences– Use of advance agreements

• Shifting workload virtually to locations with available resources

11

UNCLASSIFIED

Improving debriefs to unsuccessful offerors• Standardized ACC wide guidance being finalized• Mandatory elements

– Provide charts ahead of time– Request questions in advance – Explain the award decision – Provide redacted versions of the Source Selection Decision Document (SSDD)

and Technical Evaluation Report/SSEB Report– Solicit “on the spot” feedback– Discuss “Rate the Agency” survey– Provide future opportunities – Always treat the contractor personnel across the table like someone whose job

depends on this acquisition, and how the debriefing goes

12

UNCLASSIFIED

Improving debriefs to unsuccessful offerors (cont.)

• Best practices (desirable but not mandatory)– Prepare for debriefing– Face-to-Face debriefing – Take the time to formulate deliberate answers to unanticipated questions –

caucus the government team if necessary to ensure consensus– Rehearsals for all government personnel involved– Mock debriefings – practice with neutral parties to identify issues and questions – Exclude lawyers for both sides
