Four Things Government Contractors Should Know About Enhanced Debriefing Rights Under DFARS

     In March 2022, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) issued regulations under the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) that implemented most of the enhanced postaward debriefing rights mandated in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (NDAA 2018).  The enhanced postaward debriefing rights under DFARS include the right to debriefings in connection with contract awards and task and delivery orders over $10 million, the right to submit follow-up questions and receive responses after a debriefing, and under certain circumstances the right to receive an agency's written source selection decision document.  In this episode of The GovCon Video Blog,™ we briefly discuss the enhanced postward debriefing rights under DFARS.
