About this file
This document is an Exhibit E providing instructions for electronic bid submission through the HHS Online Bid Room for a Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation (HHS0017600v2) related to Orientation & Mobility services sought by ABSSLC. The HHS Online Bid Room serves as an optional electronic submission method for solicitation responses, and bidders must adhere to all requirements specified in the solicitation package. Prospective bidders are required to follow a multi-step registration process that includes requesting an account through the IAMOnline portal using a non-HHS employee or organization registration link, awaiting Agency Sponsor approval, and activating their account within seven days of receiving the registration email. The document emphasizes that the registration process may require several days to complete and advises bidders to allow sufficient time for account activation prior to the response due date, as late submissions will not be accepted.
Important procedural notes include that applicants with previous access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registration using a different email address, as the IAMOnline system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. Technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission through the HHS Online Bid Room do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Bidders requiring assistance with the registration or submission process can 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, or access the IAMOnline Help Page for detailed guidance.

HHS0017600v2

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.
