The award phase culminates the source selection process with the contracting officer making a formal award decision. The government notifies both the winner and unsuccessful offerors, and a brief standstill period allows for debriefings and potential protests. For FAR Part 15 procurements, unsuccessful offerors have the right to a debriefing within 5 days of a written request.
