About this file

This document is an Exhibit D from the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency detailing online bid room submission procedures for solicitation HHS0017729, a miscellaneous parts supplies procurement. The exhibit provides comprehensive guidance for vendors interested in submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, though use of this platform is optional. Bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package and adhere to all specified submission requirements, forms, and delivery methods to avoid disqualification. The document emphasizes that responses must be submitted by the response due date and time as identified in the main solicitation package, and that late submissions will not be accepted regardless of the submission method used.

The HHS Online Bid Room access requires a multi-step registration process through IAMOnline. Prospective bidders must request a new account using a non-HHS employee registration link, with the external user ID being an email address. Following agency sponsor approval, users receive an IAMOnline registration email and have seven days to activate their account. The document specifically notes that applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete new registration with a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses. Potential bidders are advised to allow several days for the registration process to ensure timely bid submission. Technical difficulties with the optional electronic submission platform are not grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional support is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time.

Exhibit D

HHS Online Bid Room Information

HHS0017729

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.
