About this file
This file is an informational exhibit from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission regarding submission procedures for the HHS Online Bid Room system, applicable to solicitation HHS0017620 for electric door maintenance, repairs, and retrofitting services at the Richmond State Supported Living Center in Richmond, Texas. The document outlines the optional electronic submission process for bids and responses, emphasizing that use of the online bid room is voluntary and subject to all terms and conditions specified in the solicitation package. Prospective bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package and submit responses according to the specific form and delivery method requirements identified therein on or before the stated response due date and time, with failure to adhere to submission requirements potentially resulting in disqualification of proposals.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline system, beginning with account creation using a non-HHS employee registration link and proceeding through organizational approval and account activation steps. Users should note that the registration process may require several days to complete and that the account activation link remains active for only seven days for security purposes. Applicants with prior access to the Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across multiple accounts. The Help Desk is available at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) from 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday, and technical difficulties encountered during optional electronic submission shall not constitute grounds for contract award protests.

Access to the HHS Online Bid Room is a multi-step process.
All Online Bid Room Users:

· 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.
