About this file

This is an Exhibit E document providing online bidding instructions for solicitation HHS0017438 issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The document outlines the procedures for submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, which is an optional submission method subject to all terms and conditions specified in the main solicitation package. Bidders must follow the solicitation package requirements regarding form, manner, and timing of submissions, with failure to adhere to these specifications potentially resulting in disqualification. The response deadline and other specific solicitation details are identified in the main solicitation package, and all prospective bidders are advised to review the complete solicitation package and associated documents thoroughly before submitting responses.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal. New users must request an account by providing an email address as their external user ID and following the organization or external user account request steps. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive a registration email with a seven-day activation window for security purposes. Notably, applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The registration process may require several days, and bidders are cautioned to allow sufficient time for completion prior to the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted. Technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission shall not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. 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.

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 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.
