About this file
This document is an Exhibit E guidance file prepared by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) for the Emergency Armed and Unarmed Security Guard Services – Region 01 solicitation (HHS0017356). The exhibit provides instructions for bidders who elect to submit responses through the optional HHS Online Bid Room system. While use of the Online Bid Room is voluntary, all submissions must comply with the specific form and delivery requirements outlined in the solicitation package, and failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. Bidders must submit responses by the deadline specified in the solicitation package, and late submissions will not be accepted.
To access the HHS Online Bid Room, prospective bidders must complete a multi-step registration process that begins with requesting an account through the IAMOnline system using a non-HHS employee or organization registration link. After an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive an IAMOnline registration email with an activation link valid for seven days only. Applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses on separate accounts. The registration process may require several days, and bidders are advised to allow sufficient time for completion before the response deadline. Technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission through the Online Bid Room will not constitute grounds for contract award protests. Additional assistance is available through the HHS Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time.

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.

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.
