About this file
This document is an informational exhibit provided by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) regarding submission procedures for the HHS Online Bid Room, which is an optional electronic submission platform for bidders responding to HHSC solicitations. The exhibit outlines the multi-step registration and access process required for external users to submit bids electronically through the IAMOnline system. Prospective bidders must request an account using a non-HHS employee link, await approval from an Agency Sponsor, and activate 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 before the response due date, as late submissions are not accepted. The exhibit notes that use of the Online Bid Room is optional and subject to all terms and conditions outlined in the primary solicitation package, and that all submission requirements specified in the solicitation package must be strictly followed to avoid disqualification.
The document explicitly states that technical difficulties or failures resulting from optional use of the HHS Online Bid Room shall not constitute a valid basis for protesting a contract award. For users who previously had access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline, new registration is mandatory and must be completed with a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts. Additional support is available through the IAMOnline Help Page or by contacting 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.

Exhibit D HHS Online Bid Room Information
HHS0017083v3
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.
