About this file
This document is an Exhibit E file providing online bid room submission instructions for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS). The file outlines the optional electronic submission process through the HHS Online Bid Room for state and local contract opportunities. Bidders may submit responses using the online platform or alternative submission methods identified in the solicitation package. All submission requirements, forms, and delivery methods are specified in the primary solicitation package, and adherence to these requirements is mandatory; failure to comply may result in disqualification. The registration process for accessing the online bid room is multi-step, requiring users to request an account through the IAMOnline portal, receive approval from an Agency Sponsor, and activate their account within seven days of receiving the registration email. Bidders should allow several days for the complete registration process to ensure timely submission before the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted.
The document emphasizes that prospective bidders must carefully review all solicitation documents before submission and direct any questions to the Point of Contact identified in the solicitation package. The HHS Online Bid Room Help Desk is available at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday. Importantly, technical difficulties or issues related to the optional use of the online bid room shall not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Applicants with existing access to the previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts.

HHS Online Bid Room Information
HHS0017586v2
Bids/responses for this solicitation may be submitted electronically using the HHS Online
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.
