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 10
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 11
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 12
