+FC 1.000 Gathering feedback to improve procurement outcomes.
+Collecting voluntary feedback on the acquisition process supports continuous learning, better
+results, and improved outcomes over time. Just as important is sharing what’s been learned to
+improve processes across the Federal acquisition workforce. Agencies should gather feedback
+on the acquisition process of their procurements to help identify what went well and where
+improvements are needed. This feedback may be obtained using approaches including, but not
+limited to surveys (e.g., Acquisition360), team retrospectives, and conversations with offerors
+and contractors. The information can be used by the acquisition team, the agency, or
+governmentwide, as appropriate, to enhance the acquisition system.
+FC 1.102(a)(6) Communicating with industry.
+The Federal acquisition workforce is permitted and encouraged to engage in responsible and
+constructive exchanges with industry throughout the acquisition lifecycle, consistent with
+existing laws and regulations. Fairness and impartiality guide our interactions with offerors and
+contractors, recognizing that fairness does not necessarily mean identical treatment.
