About this file
This is an exhibit document providing guidance on electronic bid submission procedures for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) solicitation HHS0017301. The document outlines the process for accessing and using the optional HHS Online Bid Room, an electronic submission platform available to bidders as an alternative to other submission methods identified in the main solicitation package. Bidders interested in using this platform must follow a multi-step registration process beginning with accessing the IAMOnline sign-in page, requesting a new external user account, and awaiting Agency Sponsor approval before receiving registration credentials. The document emphasizes that all bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package to understand specific submission requirements, deadlines, and delivery methods, as failure to comply with these instructions may result in disqualification of responses.
The registration process for the HHS Online Bid Room may require several days to complete, and bidders are strongly advised to allow adequate time for account activation before the response due date. Users who previously accessed the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline for other HHS applications must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The document explicitly states that technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission shall not constitute valid grounds for protesting a contract award. For technical assistance, bidders may contact the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours, Monday through Friday, 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M. Central Time.

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.

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.
