About this file

This is an Exhibit document from the Health and Human Services (HHS) agency detailing the online bid room submission procedures for solicitation HHS0017585. The document outlines the technical process for submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, which is an optional submission method subject to all terms and conditions specified in the solicitation package. Bidders are instructed to carefully review the entire solicitation package and associated documents before submission and must adhere strictly to the specific form and method of delivery requirements identified in the solicitation, as failure to comply may result in disqualification. The response must be submitted by the specified due date and time identified in the solicitation package, with all questions regarding the solicitation directed to the designated Point of Contact.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline system. New users must request an account using an email address as their external user ID, and existing users with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive a registration email with a seven-day activation window for security purposes. The registration process may require several days, and bidders are advised to allow sufficient time for completion prior to the response deadline. Technical difficulties or delays resulting from optional use of the online bid room are not acceptable grounds for protesting a contract award. Support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time.

Exhibit D HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0017585

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.

Visit the IAMOnline Help Page for more information. For additional assistance, contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., CT, Monday to Friday.
