About this file
This document is an informational exhibit from the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency detailing the procedures for accessing and submitting bids through the optional HHS Online Bid Room for the "Orientation and Mobility Services for Visually Impaired" solicitation (HHS0017466v2). The exhibit provides step-by-step instructions for prospective bidders to register for access to the electronic submission system, including guidance on account creation through the IAMOnline portal and registration approval processes. Bidders are advised that the registration process may require several days to complete and that late submissions will not be accepted, making timely account activation critical to meet response deadlines. The document emphasizes that use of the HHS Online Bid Room is optional and that submissions may be made through alternative methods as identified in the solicitation package.
The exhibit clarifies that the HHS Online Bid Room functions are subject to all terms, conditions, and requirements outlined in the solicitation package, and that technical difficulties with the optional electronic submission system shall not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Bidders must follow the specific form and method of delivery requirements detailed in the solicitation package, as failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. Registration support is available through the HHS Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours (7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday). Existing users of the previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address for access to the online bid room.

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.
