About this file
This document is Exhibit E of the HHS0016884 solicitation package issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) and provides instructions for submitting bids and responses through the optional HHS Online Bid Room system. The submission process requires prospective bidders to register as external users through the IAMOnline portal using an email address as their external user ID, request organizational or individual account access, and await approval from the Agency Sponsor before receiving an IAMOnline registration email to activate their account. Bidders must complete the registration process well in advance of the response due date, as the account activation link remains active for only seven days for security purposes and late solicitation responses are not accepted. All submissions must adhere to the specific form and method of delivery outlined in the solicitation package, and failure to comply with these requirements may result in disqualification of the response.
The document emphasizes that use of the HHS Online Bid Room is entirely optional, and bidders may submit responses through any alternative method identified in the solicitation package while remaining subject to all terms, conditions, and requirements of the solicitation. Importantly, prospective bidders who previously had access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the IAMOnline system does not permit the same email address to be associated with multiple accounts. Technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission through the optional online bid room do not constitute valid grounds for protesting a contract award. Bidders requiring assistance with the registration process or portal navigation can contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours of 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information
HHS0016884
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.
