About this file

This document is Exhibit E of a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation (HHS0016947) providing instructions for bidders on submitting responses through the optional HHS Online Bid Room system. Bidders may submit responses electronically via the HHS Online Bid Room or through other submission methods identified in the main solicitation package. All responses must adhere to the specific form and delivery method requirements outlined in the solicitation package and must be submitted on or before the stated response due date and time. Failure to follow submission requirements may result in disqualification. The document emphasizes that bidders should thoroughly review the complete solicitation package and all associated documents before preparing their response and directs questions to the Point of Contact identified in the solicitation package.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline system. New users must request an account by following the provided link, clicking the non-HHS employee registration option, and completing organization or external user account request steps. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive an IAMOnline registration email to activate their account within seven days. Applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The document cautions that the registration process may require several days and recommends allowing sufficient time to complete registration prior to the response deadline, as late submissions are not accepted. Technical difficulties with the optional online submission system do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., CT.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0016947

Bids/responses for this solicitation 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. 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.
