Alternate Bidding Procedures: Redundancy is the most effective way to mitigate technical and human issues during an auction. XXXX strongly recommends that bidders consider authorizing more than one individual to bid in the auction—and confirming during the mock auction that each individual is able to access the auction system. A mobile hotspot or other form of wireless access is helpful in case a company’s main internet connection should fail. As a last resort, an authorized individual facing technical issues may request to submit its bid by telephone. In order to be authorized to place a telephone bid, an authorized individual must call the help desk number listed in the auction manual before the end of the round. BOEM will authenticate the caller’s identity, including requiring the caller to provide a code from the software token. The caller must also explain the reasons why a telephone bid needs to be submitted. BOEM may, in its sole discretion, permit or refuse to accept a request for the placement of a bid using this alternate telephonic bidding procedure. The auction help desk requires codes from the Google Authenticator application (app) as part of its procedure for identifying individuals who call for assistance. Prior to the auction, all individuals listed on the BFF should download the Google AuthenticatorTM mobile app5 onto their smartphone or tablet.6 The first 5 Google Authenticator must be installed from either the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store.
