About this file

This document is Exhibit D of solicitation HHS0017380 issued by the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency, providing guidance on the optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room for electronic submission of solicitation responses. The document specifies that bidders may submit responses either through the HHS Online Bid Room or via alternative submission methods identified in the solicitation package. All prospective bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package and associated documents before submitting responses, and must adhere strictly to the form, manner, and deadline requirements outlined in the solicitation package. The response deadline and specific submission requirements are detailed in the primary solicitation documents.

The registration process for accessing the HHS Online Bid Room requires multiple steps, including account creation through the IAMOnline portal using a non-HHS employee registration link, followed by approval by an Agency Sponsor and activation within a seven-day window. Prospective bidders should note that the registration process may require several days and should allow sufficient time to complete registration before the response deadline, as late submissions are not accepted. The HHS Help Desk is available Monday through Friday from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) for technical assistance. Importantly, any technical difficulties encountered through the optional online bid room system shall not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award.

Exhibit D HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0017380

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.
