This information collection covers the Acquisition 360 Survey tool which seeks information from actual and potential offerors regarding their experience with Federal contract solicitations. Understanding how offerors experience the Federal marketplace is critical to the Government’s ability to build and maintain a healthy, diverse, and resilient supplier base that can help Federal agencies use acquisition as a catalyst to address the needs of our Nation. While agencies periodically seek feedback from their offerors, there are no government-wide mechanisms for agencies to collect and consider this information in a consistent and organized manner. The Acquisition 360 Survey fills an important gap in government-vendor communications by providing a standardized tool for voluntary vendor feedback in a centralized location to allow for cross agency analysis. In 2015, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) conducted a pilot of the Acquisition 360 Survey as established by the memorandum "Acquisition 360-Improving the Acquisition Process through Timely Feedback from External and Internal Stakeholders .” In 2019, OFPP issued “Myth-Busting #4 – Strengthening Engagement with Industry Partners through Innovative Business Practices ” which supported expanded use of the Acquisition 360 Survey. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) hosts the centralized survey portal at https://www.acquisition.gov/360 to ensure governmentwide access to the data. The voluntary survey will be available at the public website where respondents will enter the Notice ID/Solicitation ID of the solicitation they wish to comment on, and then select their role in the procurement— Actual/Potential Offerors, Government Contracting Office, or Government Program Office (Customer). Based on the role selected, the respondent will be presented with a set of standardized survey questions. Only the Actual/Potential Offerors portion is for public use and therefore, the only portion of the survey covered by this information collection. The survey responses will be overseen by the OMB project team (which is comprised of members of OFPP and the General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Shared Solutions & Performance Improvement). FAR 52.201-01, Acquisition 360: Voluntary Survey. This provision encourages actual and potential offerors to provide feedback to agencies on their preaward and debriefing process using a Government-provided survey at https://www.acquisition.gov/360. (See the survey questions Attachment.)
