About this file
This is an exhibit document providing instructions for the HHS Online Bid Room submission process for solicitation HHS0016990, administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). The document outlines the electronic bidding procedures for the Emergency Mold Assessment and Protocol for Building 802 at Rusk State Hospital. Prospective bidders must complete a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal, which requires requesting a new account with a unique email address, receiving approval from an Agency Sponsor, and activating the account within seven days of receiving the registration email. The registration process may take several days, and bidders are advised to allow adequate time to complete submission before the response due date of January 30, 2026, at 10:30 AM. A mandatory on-site visit is scheduled for January 22, 2026, at 10:30 AM at Rusk State Hospital. Questions regarding the solicitation must be submitted by January 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM, with responses posted as an addendum on January 27, 2026.
The exhibit emphasizes that use of the HHS Online Bid Room is optional, and bidders may submit responses using any method identified in the solicitation package. However, responses must be submitted in the exact form and manner specified in the solicitation documents, as failure to adhere to requirements may result in disqualification. The document notes that technical difficulties with the online bid room system are not sufficient grounds for protesting a contract award. Late submissions are not accepted. For technical assistance with the IAMOnline portal, bidders may contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) between 7:00 AM and 7:00 PM Central Time, Monday through Friday.

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.
