About this file
This is an Exhibit E document providing operational guidance for the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation identified as HHS0017066. The document outlines the electronic bidding procedures and technical requirements for vendors submitting responses to this state solicitation. Bidders may elect to submit responses through the HHS Online Bid Room or utilize alternative submission methods as specified in the main solicitation package. All submissions must comply with the form, format, and delivery requirements detailed in the solicitation package and must be received by the specified response due date and time. The document emphasizes that failure to adhere to submission requirements may result in disqualification of the response.
The document details a multi-step account registration process requiring bidders to access the IAMOnline platform through a provided link and request a new account using an email address as the external user ID. The registration process requires approval from an Agency Sponsor before users receive activation credentials valid for seven days. Notably, applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email accounts. The document advises allowing several days for registration completion to ensure timely bid submission, noting that late responses are not accepted. The Help Desk provides technical support 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. Technical difficulties with the optional online submission system do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award.
