About this file
This is an Exhibit E document providing instructions for electronic bid submission through the HHS Online Bid Room for a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation identified as HHS0017289. The document outlines the optional electronic submission method available to bidders, emphasizing that use of the online platform is voluntary and subject to all terms and conditions specified in the solicitation package. Bidders are required to review the complete solicitation package carefully and submit responses in the form and manner described by the response due date and time identified in the solicitation. The document stresses that failure to adhere to specified submission requirements may result in disqualification of the bid.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal. Prospective bidders must request an account using a non-HHS employee or organization registration link, with the external user ID typically being an email address. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive an IAMOnline registration email and must activate their account within seven days. The document notes that applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. Recognizing that the registration process may require several days, bidders are advised to allow sufficient time for account setup prior to the submission deadline. Technical difficulties related to optional use of the online bid room are not grounds for protest of contract awards. Additional support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), operating Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time.

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.
