About this file

This document is Exhibit E detailing the HHS Online Bid Room Information for solicitation HHS0015513-1 from the Health and Human Services Commission. The document outlines the two-step process for submitting electronic bids through the HHS Online Bid Room system, which is an optional submission method. Step 1 requires registration for the Enterprise Portal, which can take up to five business days to receive login credentials. Step 2 involves using those credentials to request access to the HHS Online Bid Room for bid submission. The document emphasizes that all responses must include the XML Price Sheet (if required) and signed documentation, and must be submitted by the response due date as late submissions are not accepted.

The document specifies that technical difficulties with the Online Bid Room cannot be used as grounds for protest of contract award. It requires bidders who already have Enterprise Portal access for other applications to create a new registration with a different email address, as the system does not allow duplicate email addresses. Resources including tutorials and guidebooks are available to assist with using the bid room. The document notes that all submissions, whether electronic or through other methods, must comply with all terms, conditions, affirmations, and requirements specified in the solicitation package.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0015513-1

Bids/responses for this Invitation for Bids 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. The XML Price Sheet, if required, and signed documentation must be submitted with the response.

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 two-step process.

Step 1: Register for the Enterprise Portal using the Enterprise Portal Link. It can take up to five business days to receive your username and password. If you do not receive this information within five days, email pcsbids@hhsc.state.tx.us.

Note: Applicants who already have access to the Enterprise Portal 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 Enterprise Portal does not allow the same email address to be used for two different accounts.

Step 2: Using the Enterprise Portal login credentials you will receive via email, you can request the necessary HHS Online Bid Room username and password to enter the HHS Online Bid Room to submit your response to the solicitation electronically.

See our resources page for a tutorial, guidebook, and other resources to help you use the HHS Online Bid Room.

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.
