About this file
This document is Exhibit E of solicitation HHS0017054 issued by the Health and Human Services (HHS) agency in Texas, providing instructions for bidders on using the optional HHS Online Bid Room for submitting solicitation responses. Bidders may submit responses either through the HHS Online Bid Room or through any other method identified in the solicitation package. All submissions must comply with the specific form and method of delivery requirements outlined in the solicitation package and must be received by the stated response due date and time; failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. The document emphasizes that use of the online bid room is optional and subject to all terms, conditions, and requirements of the solicitation, and bidders are instructed to review the entire solicitation package and associated documents carefully before submitting their response.
Access to the HHS Online Bid Room requires a multi-step registration process through the IAMOnline portal, beginning with following a provided link to the sign-in page and requesting a new account as a non-HHS employee or registering an organization. Applicants must use an email address as their external user ID, and those with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete a new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses across accounts. The registration process may take several days, and users are advised to allow sufficient time for completion prior to the response deadline, as late submissions are not accepted. Once the Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users will receive an IAMOnline registration email with a link that remains active for seven days for security purposes. Technical difficulties associated with the optional online submission method do not constitute grounds for protesting a contract award. Additional support is available through the IAMOnline Help Page or by contacting the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours of 7:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M., Central Time, Monday through Friday.
