About this file
This exhibit provides instructions for bidders submitting responses to solicitation HHS0017188 through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's optional Online Bid Room portal. Bidders must follow a multi-step registration process to gain access to the system, beginning with requesting a non-HHS employee account through the IAMOnline sign-in page. The registration process requires applicants to complete an organizational or external user account request, after which an Agency Sponsor must approve the access request before the user receives an IAMOnline registration email to activate their account within a seven-day window. Bidders who previously held access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The registration process may require several days, and bidders are advised to allow sufficient time to complete registration and submit their solicitation response by the stated due date, as late submissions are not accepted.
While use of the HHS Online Bid Room is optional and all submissions must comply with the requirements specified in the solicitation package, bidders must submit their responses in the form and manner described in the package by the designated response due date and time. Failure to adhere to submission requirements may result in disqualification. Technical difficulties or issues related to the optional use of the online bid room system do not constitute valid grounds for protest of a contract award. Bidders with questions regarding the solicitation should contact the Point of Contact identified in the solicitation package. Additional technical support is available through the IAMOnline Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday.
