About this file
This document is an Exhibit E providing guidance on the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation identified as HHS0016921. The exhibit outlines the optional electronic bidding platform available to respondents and establishes that use of the online bid room is subject to all terms, conditions, and requirements specified in the primary solicitation package. Bidders must submit responses in the form and manner described in the solicitation package by the specified response due date and time, with failure to adhere to submission requirements potentially resulting in disqualification. The document emphasizes that the solicitation package identifies the specific forms and delivery methods required for submission.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires completion of a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal at https://iamonline.hhs.state.tx.us/. New users must request an account using an email address as their external user ID and follow organization or external user account request procedures. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive a registration email with a seven-day activation window. Notably, 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 usage across accounts. The registration process may require several days, necessitating early initiation to meet bid deadlines. The HHS Help Desk provides support at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday. Technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission shall not constitute grounds for protest of contract awards.
