About this file

Exhibit E details the HHS (Health and Human Services) Online Bid Room Information for solicitation HHS0015915V2, which outlines the electronic bidding process for state contract opportunities. The document provides a two-step registration process for vendors interested in submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, with the option to use alternative submission methods specified in the solicitation package. Bidders must carefully review all solicitation documents, submit the required XML Price Sheet and signed documentation, and ensure their response is submitted by the specified due date and time.

The registration process requires vendors to first register for the Enterprise Portal, which can take up to five business days to receive login credentials. Importantly, even vendors with existing Enterprise Portal access must complete a new registration using a different email address. Vendors are strongly cautioned to allow sufficient time for the registration process to avoid late submission, as late solicitation responses will not be accepted. The document explicitly states that technical difficulties with the online bid room or unsuccessful electronic submissions will not be grounds for protesting a contract award.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0015915V2

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.
