About this file

The document is an Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information file from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) detailing the electronic bidding process for a solicitation. The file provides comprehensive instructions for vendors interested in submitting a bid electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, with a specific focus on the two-step registration process required for system access. While the document does not specify the specific contract details, it outlines the critical submission requirements, emphasizing that late responses will not be accepted and that electronic submission is optional but must adhere to all solicitation package terms.

The registration process for the HHS Online Bid Room involves creating an Enterprise Portal account, which can take up to five business days to process. Vendors must use a unique email address for registration, even if they already have access to other Enterprise Portal applications. If registration credentials are not received within five days, bidders are instructed to email pcsbids@hhsc.state.tx.us. The document explicitly states that any technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission will not constitute grounds for a contract award protest. The version of this guidance is 1.20, with a revision date of March 1, 2024, indicating the most current procedural guidance for potential bidders.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information HHS0015658v3

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.
