On March 18, 2022, the Department of Defense (DoD) issued a final rule to amend the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) to mandate that DoD provide enhanced postaward debriefings to contractors. As we previously highlighted, these changes to postaward debriefings in DoD procurements originally were partially implemented by a Class Deviation issued by DoD in 2018, and further formalized through a proposed rule issued last May. With this final rule, DoD permanently implements important changes to the postaward debriefing process for defense procurements.
