About this file
This exhibit provides information about the HHS Online Bid Room system for solicitation HHS0016355v2, an electronic bid submission platform operated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The document outlines the optional electronic submission process for bids and responses, emphasizing that use of the online system is subject to all terms and conditions of the solicitation and that failure to adhere to solicitation package requirements may result in disqualification. The registration process is identified as potentially taking several days, requiring bidders to allow sufficient time before the response due date, as late solicitation responses are not accepted.
The online bid room access requires a multi-step registration process through IAMOnline, where users must request accounts as non-HHS employees using an email address as their external user ID. Notably, applicants who already have access to previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline applications must complete a new registration with a different email address, as the system does not allow the same email for multiple accounts. The activation link is only valid for seven days for security purposes. Technical support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., CT, Monday through Friday, and the document explicitly states that technical difficulties with the optional online system cannot serve as grounds for protesting a contract award.

Note: Applicants who already have access to the previous Enterprise Portal and/or IAMOnline for other applications, MUST complete a new registration to receive access to the online bid room.

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.
