Hello All,
I have been busy today…. I have been doing written debriefs for a long long time and recently had a question come about that I thought was a very good point.
Considering FAR 15.506 and providing any kind of debrief, in writing or orally, when are the relevant questions (15.506(d)(6)) about whether source selection procedures contained in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed due to the CO? While requesting a debrief per 15.506(a)(1) or after the written/oral debrief?
I know some KOs that will not entertain any questions after the written debrief has been given to the offeror in order to start the protest window clock. The thought is that the back and forth question and answer part would still be a part of the actual debrief.
I also know some KOs that will ask for questions up front, but my thought is how would the vendors know what questions to ask if they haven’t seen the debrief?
Any thoughts on this?
