About this file

This document is an Exhibit E providing instructions for accessing and using the HHS Online Bid Room, an optional electronic submission platform for responding to Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation HHS0017596. The Lufkin SSLC podiatry services contract opportunity accepts bids through the online portal or alternative submission methods as specified in the solicitation package. All bidders must adhere strictly to the form, method of delivery, and response deadlines outlined in the solicitation package, as failure to comply may result in disqualification. Bidders should note that the registration process for accessing the HHS Online Bid Room may require several days to complete, and prospective respondents must allow sufficient time to submit their bids by the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process beginning with creation of an IAMOnline account through the provided link. New users must request an account as a non-HHS employee or registered organization, using an email address as the external user ID. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive a registration email with a seven-day activation window for security purposes. Applicants with previous 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 addresses across accounts. Technical difficulties with the optional HHS Online Bid Room do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. For assistance, bidders may contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday.

Exhibit E HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0017596

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.
