About this file
This document is Exhibit E for an HHS Online Bid Room Information document (Solicitation Number HHS0016636), detailing the electronic bidding process for a state or local government contract. The document outlines the optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room for submitting solicitation responses, with a strict requirement that bidders carefully review all solicitation package documents and submit responses in the specified form and manner by the designated response due date. The bidding process involves a multi-step registration process through IAMOnline, where potential bidders must request a new account as a non-HHS employee or organization, using a unique email address, and complete a registration that may take several days to process.
The document emphasizes critical procedural requirements, including that late solicitation responses will not be accepted and that technical difficulties with the online bid room do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Bidders must follow specific steps to access the system, including clicking a provided link, requesting an account, and waiting for Agency Sponsor approval. Support is available through a help desk reachable at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), operating from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. CT, Monday to Friday. The document notes that applicants with previous portal access must complete a new registration with a different email address, and the account activation link is only valid for seven days after initial registration.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information
HHS0016636
Bids/responses for this solicitation may be submitted electronically using the HHS Online Bid Room or any other method identified in the solicitation. Use of the HHS Online Bid Room is optional and is subject to all terms and conditions, affirmations, and other requirements of the solicitation as any other method of submission.
Read and review the solicitation package and all associated documents carefully before completing and submitting a response in the form and manner described in the solicitation package. Questions regarding the solicitation must be addressed to the Point of Contact in the solicitation package. The Point of Contact is identified in the solicitation package.
Submit the solicitation response in the form and manner described in the solicitation package on or before the response due date and time.
IMPORTANT: The solicitation package will identify the specific form and method of delivery. Failure to adhere to the requirements in the solicitation package may result in disqualification.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room is a multi-step process.
All Online Bid Room Users:
Follow the provided link to access the IAMOnline – Sign-in page.
Next, click the link labeled “Request account as a non-HHS employee or register organization” to request a new account. Please note, the external user ID should be an email address.
Users can find detailed instructions here; Follow the organization or external user account request steps as directed.
Once the Agency Sponsor receives and approves the access request, users will receive an IAMOnline registration email to set up their IAMOnline account.
The user will click the Activate Account button to set up their account promptly. Please note that the link will only be active for seven (7) days for security reasons.
Note: Applicants who already have access to the previous Enterprise Portal and/or IAMOnline for other applications, MUST complete a new registration to receive access to the online bid room. The new registration must be completed with a different email than the original account as the IAMOnline portal does not allow the same email address to be used for two different accounts.
IMPORTANT: The registration process may take several days. Allow enough time for the registration process to submit your bid by the response due date. Late solicitation responses are not accepted.
The optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room and any resulting technical difficulties which may prevent a successful, responsive electronic submission of a solicitation response shall not be sufficient basis for a protest of a contract award.
