About this file
This document is Exhibit D of a solicitation package for the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency, specifically for the FY27 Food Service Groceries contract for Mexia State Supported facility (HHS0017799). The exhibit provides guidance on the optional electronic submission method available through the HHS Online Bid Room. Bidders may submit responses using the online platform or through any other method identified in the main solicitation package. The document emphasizes that use of the HHS Online Bid Room is voluntary and does not exempt submissions from all terms, conditions, and requirements specified in the solicitation package. All submission responses must follow the specific form and delivery method outlined in the solicitation package and meet the stated response due date and time; failure to comply with these requirements may result in disqualification. Late solicitation responses are not accepted under any circumstances.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires completion of a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal. Prospective bidders must request an account as a non-HHS employee or register their organization, using an email address as the external user ID. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users will receive a registration email with a link to activate their account, which remains active for only seven days for security purposes. Applicants with previous access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses. The document notes that the registration process may require several days to complete and advises bidders to allow sufficient time prior to the response deadline. Technical difficulties encountered during the optional electronic submission process are not grounds for protesting a contract award. For assistance, bidders can contact the 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.

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.
