About this file

This document is an exhibit to solicitation HHS0017331 issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) and provides instructions for bidders regarding the optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room for electronic submission of solicitation responses. The file outlines the multi-step registration and access process for external users, including creating an IAMOnline account, requesting access as a non-HHS employee or organization, and awaiting approval from the Agency Sponsor before account activation. Bidders are instructed to carefully review the complete solicitation package and adhere strictly to all specified submission requirements, forms, and delivery methods, as failure to comply may result in disqualification. The response must be submitted by the due date and time identified in the solicitation package, with particular emphasis on allowing adequate time for the registration process, which may take several days, to ensure timely submission.

The HHS Online Bid Room submission method is optional and subject to all terms, conditions, and affirmations contained in the solicitation. Bidders should be aware that the IAMOnline registration link remains active for only seven days for security purposes, and applicants with previous 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. Technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission through the HHS Online Bid Room do not constitute valid grounds for contract award protests. Additional support is available through the Help Desk 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.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0017331

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.
