Which statement describes NOT prohibited conduct by Government personnel during source selection?

• A. Favors one offeror over another.
• B. Providing general information about debriefing schedules to all offerors.
• C. Revealing an offeror's price without that offeror's permission.
• D. Knowingly furnishing source selection information.

Answer: (B)

Fostering fair competition during source selection means keeping confidential evaluation judgments and pricing information out of the hands of competitors. Providing general information about debriefing schedules to all offerors is permissible because it conveys non-sensitive, public-facing logistics without revealing any evaluative content, rankings, or confidential data. In contrast, taking actions like favoring one offeror, disclosing an offeror’s price without permission, or knowingly sharing source selection information before award would undermine fairness and the integrity of the process by giving some bidders an unjust advantage or exposing confidential data. So, the only non-problematic statement is the one about sharing general debriefing schedule information.
