On January 5, 2017, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) issued its third "Myth-busting" memorandum, specifically addressing misconceptions about debriefings. By issuing this memorandum, OFPP seeks to encourage the use of debriefings as a tool that could contribute to a potentially more competitive supplier base and also allow agencies to evaluate and improve their own processes. In addition to attempting to debunk some common myths about debriefings, the memorandum sets forth best practices, including the adoption or establishment of a debriefing guide.
