About this file

This document is an exhibit providing instructions for the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitation HHS0018013, related to a flooring removal and installation project at Rio Grande State Center, Building 515, Unit 1. The exhibit outlines the electronic bidding procedures available to prospective vendors, clarifying that use of the online bid room is optional and subject to all solicitation requirements. Bidders must follow the specific form and method of delivery identified in the solicitation package, and failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. The registration process for accessing the HHS Online Bid Room requires prospective bidders to complete a multi-step account creation process through IAMOnline, beginning with a request for external user access via email address and concluding with account activation upon agency sponsor approval. Applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must register with a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email usage across accounts.

The registration process may require several days to complete, and bidders are advised to allow sufficient time before the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted. Users encountering technical difficulties with the online bid room submission process cannot use such issues as grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional assistance with the registration or submission process is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free), Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time. Detailed instructions for account registration are available on the IAMOnline Help Page.

Once the Agency Sponsor receives and approves the access request, users will receive an IAMOnline registration email to set up their IAMOnline account.

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.
