How bad are agency debriefings? Let us know

The research phase continues for our Insider Report on debriefings and bid protests, so take this opportunity to share your thoughts on this important issue.

The research phase of our next WT Insider Report continues as we collect your thoughts on the quality of agency debriefings and their relationship to bid protests.

We did a similar report two years ago but a lot has happened since then s we wanted to revisit the topic.

Our 2016 report drew a straight line between the quality of debriefings and the likelihood that a company will file a bid protest.

Congress has been paying more attention to protests in recent years. Some of its efforts seem more focused on discouraging companies from filing protests but they have paid some attention to debriefings.

It is early in that process, but whatever the direct effect of congressional action, the bottom line is that agencies know more people are watching how they are conducting their debriefings and how that relates to bid protests.

With this report, we’ll look back at the 2016 results to see how the perspective of industry has changed and evolved and whether they are seeing any improvement and where problems remain.

We’ll also dive deeper into the types of debriefings that companies find valuable by asking questions specific to oral debriefings and written debriefings.
