You do not have to use the HHS Online Bid Room. You may continue to submit a bid on an open solicitation through traditional means as specified in the solicitation package. These include:

Using the HHS Online Bid Room requires registration with two systems:

Remember: The HHS Online Bid Room and the Enterprise Portal are two different systems. They have different registration pages and different Terms and Conditions and Acknowledgements. You only need to register for each system once.

Important Read the solicitation for the acceptable methods of delivering your bid so you know what types of submissions and file formats to use. If you choose to use the HHS Online Bid Room, print the confirmation page you receive and save it as proof that your submission was received by the deadline. You can find more information on the "Acknowledgement" page when you register with the system. Also, consider submitting your response on USB unless hard copies are specified in the solicitation.
