About this file
This is an informational exhibit document from the Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) agency detailing procedures for electronic bid submission through the HHS Online Bid Room for solicitation HHS0017295. The document provides comprehensive guidance on accessing and utilizing the optional electronic bidding portal, which represents an alternative submission method to traditional paper-based responses. Bidders are required to follow specific registration and account creation procedures through the IAMOnline system before submitting responses. The solicitation package itself identifies the specific form, method of delivery, and response due date, with strict adherence to these requirements necessary to avoid disqualification. Applicants should allocate sufficient time for the multi-step registration process, which can require several days for completion and approval by the Agency Sponsor.
The HHS Online Bid Room registration process requires external users to request accounts using email addresses as external user IDs, with activation links valid for seven days for security purposes. Notably, applicants with previous access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. Technical difficulties or failures related to the optional electronic submission method are not grounds for contract award protests. Support services are available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or toll-free at 855-435-7181, operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Central Time. The document emphasizes that late submissions will not be accepted regardless of circumstances.

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.
