About this file

This document is Exhibit D of a solicitation package (HHS0016811) issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) providing instructions for submitting bids or responses through the HHS Online Bid Room. The solicitation is available for electronic submission via the optional HHS Online Bid Room or through any other method specified in the solicitation package. Prospective bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package and all associated documents before submitting their responses. All questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to the Point of Contact identified in the solicitation package. Responses must be submitted in the form and manner described in the solicitation package on or before the specified response due date and time. The document emphasizes that failure to adhere to the requirements outlined in the solicitation package may result in disqualification from consideration.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires completion of a multi-step registration process. Prospective bidders must follow the provided link to the IAMOnline sign-in page, request a new account as a non-HHS employee or register their organization using an email address as the external user ID, and await Agency Sponsor approval of their access request. Once approved, users will receive an IAMOnline registration email and must activate their account within seven days. The document cautions that applicants with previous access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The registration process may take several days, and bidders are advised to allow sufficient time to submit their responses by the deadline, as late submissions are not accepted. Technical difficulties encountered while using the optional HHS Online Bid Room do not constitute valid grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional support is available through the IAMOnline Help Page or the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time.

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.

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.
