About this file
This document is an exhibit regarding submission procedures for the HHS Online Bid Room for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS) solicitation RFO NO. HHS0017021. The exhibit provides comprehensive guidance on electronic bid submission procedures through the optional HHS Online Bid Room platform. Bidders may submit responses using the online system or through any other method identified in the solicitation package. The submission process requires adherence to all terms, conditions, affirmations, and requirements outlined in the solicitation package, and responses must be submitted in the specified form and manner by the response due date and time identified in the solicitation package. The document emphasizes that failure to follow submission requirements may result in disqualification of the bid.
The HHS Online Bid Room access requires a multi-step registration process beginning with account creation through the IAMOnline Sign-in page. New users must request an account as a non-HHS employee or register their organization, using an email address as the external user ID. Once an Agency Sponsor approves the access request, users receive an IAMOnline registration email with a seven-day activation window for account setup. The document notes that applicants with previous Enterprise Portal or IAMOnline access must complete new registration using a different email address, as the system does not permit duplicate email addresses. The registration process may require several days; therefore, bidders must allow sufficient time to complete registration and submit responses prior to the deadline. Technical difficulties with the optional online system do not constitute grounds for protest. Additional assistance is available through the Help Desk at 512-438-4720 or 855-435-7181 (toll-free) during business hours.
