About this file
This is an informational exhibit document for the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) Online Bid Room system applicable to solicitation HHS0016989. The document provides procedural guidance for vendors submitting bids electronically through the HHS Online Bid Room, which is an optional submission method subject to all terms and conditions outlined in the primary solicitation package. Prospective bidders must review the complete solicitation package and all associated documents before submitting responses. Vendors are required to submit their bids in the specific form and manner described in the solicitation package on or before the stated response due date and time, with failure to adhere to submission requirements potentially resulting in disqualification. The Point of Contact for solicitation questions is identified in the main solicitation package.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal. Users must follow the provided link to the IAMOnline sign-in page, request a new account as a non-HHS employee or register their organization, and complete the required steps for either organizational or external user account creation. Once the Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive an IAMOnline registration email with a seven-day activation window for account setup. Notably, applicants with prior access to the previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email usage. The registration process may require several days; therefore, vendors should allow sufficient time to complete registration and submit bids before the response deadline, as late submissions are not accepted. Technical difficulties with the optional online bid room do not constitute grounds for contract award protests. Additional assistance 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.
