About this file

This document is an Exhibit E providing guidance on the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for solicitation HHS0016932A issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The exhibit establishes that bidders may submit responses electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room or through alternative submission methods identified in the solicitation package. All submission requirements, deadlines, and formats must strictly adhere to specifications outlined in the solicitation package, with failure to comply potentially resulting in disqualification. Bidders are advised that late responses will not be accepted, and the registration process for Online Bid Room access may require several days; therefore, prospective bidders should initiate their account setup well in advance of the response due date to ensure timely submission.

The document outlines a multi-step registration process requiring non-HHS employees and organizations to request accounts through IAMOnline, with activation links valid for seven days for security purposes. Users with existing access to the previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registrations using different email addresses, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts. Technical difficulties or failures resulting from optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room shall not constitute grounds for protest of a contract award. Additional support is available through the HHS Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time, with supplementary resources accessible via the IAMOnline Help Page.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0016932A

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.
