About this file
This document is an exhibit to RFO No. HHS0016853 issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and provides guidance for submitting solicitation responses through the optional HHS Online Bid Room. Bidders may submit responses using the online platform or through other methods identified in the solicitation package. The HHS Online Bid Room submission process requires users to follow a multi-step registration procedure, beginning with accessing the IAMOnline sign-in page and requesting a new account as a non-HHS employee or organization representative. All prospective bidders must complete the organization or external user account request steps and await Agency Sponsor approval before receiving an IAMOnline registration email to activate their account. The activation link remains valid for seven days for security purposes. Notably, applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the IAMOnline portal does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts.
The registration process may require several days to complete, and bidders are strongly advised to allow sufficient time for account setup to meet the response due date specified in the solicitation package, as late submissions are not accepted. Technical difficulties or issues resulting from optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. For assistance with registration, account access, or technical issues, bidders may contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours of 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday. Additional information and detailed instructions are available through the IAMOnline Help Page.
