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 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

11 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
