About this file
This document is Exhibit E of a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation (HHS0016767) providing guidance on the optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room for electronic submission of bids and responses. The document outlines the multi-step access process for external users and organizations seeking to submit solicitation responses through the online portal. Bidders must follow the provided link to the IAMOnline sign-in page, request a new account as a non-HHS employee or organization, and await approval from an Agency Sponsor before receiving a registration email. Upon approval, users must activate their account within seven days of receiving the activation link. The document emphasizes that the registration process may require several days to complete and applicants should allow adequate time before the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted. Importantly, applicants 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 system does not permit duplicate email accounts.
The HHS Online Bid Room is entirely optional, and bidders may submit responses through alternative methods identified in the solicitation package. The use of the online bid room is subject to all terms, conditions, affirmations, and requirements of the solicitation. Technical difficulties or other issues related to the optional electronic submission system do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Bidders experiencing technical problems during submission or requiring additional assistance can contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. The document directs all bidders to carefully review the complete solicitation package and contact the designated Point of Contact with any questions regarding the solicitation requirements.

HHS Online Bid Room Information
HHS0016767
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.
