About this file
This is an Exhibit D document providing guidance on the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for solicitation HHS0016902v2, issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The document outlines the optional electronic bidding platform available to respondents and establishes procedural requirements for accessing and utilizing the system. Prospective bidders must follow a multi-step registration process beginning with requesting an account through the IAMOnline portal using an email address as their external user ID. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users will receive a registration email with a seven-day activation window to establish their IAMOnline account. The solicitation package will specify the required form and method of delivery for responses, and failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. All responses must be submitted by the response due date and time identified in the solicitation package, with late submissions not accepted under any circumstances.
Bidders should allow several days for account registration to ensure timely submission of their responses. Applicants who previously accessed the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. Technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission through the HHS Online Bid Room are not considered sufficient grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, or through the IAMOnline Help Page. Bidders retain the option to submit responses through alternative submission methods identified in the solicitation package.

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.

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 multi-step process.
All Online Bid Room Users:
• Follow the provided link to access the IAMOnline – Sign-in page.
• Next, click the link labeled “Request account as a non-HHS employee or register organization” to request a new account. Please note, the external user ID should be an email address.
• Users can find detailed instructions here; Follow the organization or external user account request steps as directed.
• Once the Agency Sponsor receives and approves the access request, users will receive an IAMOnline registration email to set up their IAMOnline account.
• The user will click the Activate Account button to set up their account promptly. Please note that the link will only be active for seven (7) days for security reasons.
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 new registration must be completed with a different email than the original account as the IAMOnline portal does not allow the same email address to be used for two different accounts.
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.
