About this file
This document is an informational exhibit from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) regarding the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for state and local contract opportunities, specifically applicable to solicitation HHS0017760 and the Lubbock State Supported Living Center Interior & Exterior Doors Installation and Repairs project. The exhibit provides detailed instructions for bidders to access and utilize the optional electronic submission platform. Prospective vendors must follow a multi-step registration process beginning with accessing the IAMOnline sign-in page, requesting a new account as a non-HHS employee, and awaiting approval from an Agency Sponsor before receiving an activation email. The document emphasizes that the registration process may require several days to complete and advises bidders to allow sufficient time prior to the response due date, as late submissions will not be accepted. Users should note that the account activation link remains active for only seven days for security purposes, and those with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must register with a different email address since the system does not permit duplicate email usage across accounts.
The exhibit clarifies that use of the HHS Online Bid Room is entirely optional and does not alter any terms, conditions, or requirements outlined in the solicitation package. Bidders must comply with all specifications regarding submission form and delivery method as detailed in the solicitation documents. Technical difficulties encountered during electronic submission through the optional online bid room system do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. For support with the registration and submission process, bidders may contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours of 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday, or visit the IAMOnline Help Page for additional guidance.

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.

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.
