Pre-award debriefings must include which of the following at a minimum?

• A. The number of offerors.
• B. The content of other offerors' proposals.
• C. The ranking of other offerors.
• D. The agency's evaluation of significant elements in the offeror's proposal; a summary of the rationale for eliminating the offeror; and reasonable responses to questions about whether source selection procedures were followed.

Answer: (D)

The minimum debriefing content is the agency’s evaluation of significant elements in your proposal, a summary of the rationale for eliminating your offer from consideration, and reasonable responses to questions about whether the agency followed its source selection procedures. This combination gives you a clear view of how your proposal was judged, why you were not selected, and reassurance about the integrity of the process, while safeguarding confidential information about other bidders. The other options aren’t required disclosures and could reveal sensitive competitive information or create unnecessary controversy.
