How may debriefings be conducted?

• A. Orally, in writing, or by any other method acceptable to the contracting officer
• B. Only in writing
• C. Only orally
• D. By any method not approved by the contracting officer

Answer: (A)

Debriefings can be conducted in whatever form the contracting officer approves. The agency may provide the debriefing orally, in writing, or through another method that the contracting officer deems acceptable. This flexibility ensures the offeror receives the necessary evaluation information in a manner that fits the situation and organizational policies. It’s not limited to just written or just oral, and it can’t use methods the contracting officer hasn’t approved.
