About this file

This document is an informational exhibit from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) regarding the Online Bid Room submission process for state and local contract solicitations, specifically related to Audiology services needed for residents of RSSLC (Solicitation HHS0017735). The exhibit provides detailed instructions for bidders on how to access and utilize the optional HHS Online Bid Room for electronic submission of solicitation responses. Bidders must follow a multi-step registration process, beginning with requesting an account through the IAMOnline portal using a non-HHS employee or organization registration link. The registration process may take several days, and users are strongly advised to allow sufficient time to complete registration and submit their bids by the solicitation's response due date, as late submissions are not accepted. All users must activate their IAMOnline accounts within seven days of receiving the registration email, and applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the portal does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts.

The HHS Online Bid Room is optional, and use of this electronic submission method is subject to all terms, conditions, affirmations, and requirements specified in the solicitation package. Bidders must review the complete solicitation package and associated documents carefully and submit responses in the specific form and manner described in the package. Failure to adhere to submission requirements may result in disqualification. Technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission through the HHS Online Bid Room shall not constitute a valid basis for protesting a contract award. For assistance with the registration process or technical issues, bidders may contact the HHS Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) between 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Central Time, Monday through Friday. Additional resources and detailed instructions are available through the IAMOnline Help Page.

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.

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.
