About this file
This document is an exhibit to the Request for Proposals (RFP) HHS0016552 issued by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) on behalf of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) regarding Child Protective Services Home Study and Report Services. The exhibit provides detailed instructions for submitting bids through the HHS Online Bid Room, which is an optional submission method subject to all terms and conditions of the solicitation. Prospective bidders must follow a multi-step registration process that includes requesting an account as a non-HHS employee or registering their organization through the IAMOnline portal, awaiting Agency Sponsor approval, and activating their account within seven days of receiving the registration email. The solicitation package specifies the required form and method of delivery, and failure to adhere to these requirements may result in disqualification. The registration process may require several days, and bidders are advised to allow adequate time to complete registration and submit responses by the response due date of March 30, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. Central Time, as late submissions are not accepted. Prospective bidders should note that applicants with previous 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.
The HHS Online Bid Room uses a secure authentication system, and technical difficulties with the optional electronic submission method shall not constitute sufficient basis for protesting a contract award. For additional assistance with the registration or submission process, prospective bidders may contact 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. Detailed instructions and additional resources are available through the IAMOnline Help Page at the provided URL. Bidders are strongly encouraged to review the entire solicitation package and associated documents carefully before initiating the registration and submission process to ensure compliance with all requirements.
