Preaward debriefings shall not disclose which of the following?

• A. The number of offerors
• B. The identity of other offerors
• C. The content of other offerors proposals
• D. The names of individuals providing reference information about an offeror's past performance

Answer: (B)

Preaward debriefings are designed to inform you how your proposal was evaluated and the basis for the government’s decision, while protecting competitive fairness. The key restriction is to keep the identities of other offerors confidential. Revealing who else submitted proposals would expose competitors and their bidding strategies, which can undermine competition in future procurements. Therefore, the identity of other offerors is not disclosed. The other items concern information that the debriefing may discuss in the appropriate context, but the protection of competitor identities is the primary confidentiality rule that the question targets.
