FAR 52.201-1 Acquisition 360: Voluntary Survey.

The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.

In plain English

This provision encourages actual and potential offerors to voluntarily give feedback on the preaward and debriefing processes for a specific acquisition, up to 45 days after award. The feedback is anonymous unless the participant self-identifies, and the Contracting Officer will not review it until after award or use it in the award decision. It does not create any protections, rights, or grounds for protest.

Applies to: Actual and potential offerors on acquisitions that include this provision
