(xv) HHSAR 352.239-73, SECTION 508 ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS

Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility (December 18, 2015)

A. Pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, all electronic and information technology (EIT) supplies and services developed, acquired, or maintained under this contract or order must comply with the “Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Accessibility Standards” set forth by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (also referred to as the “Access Board”) in 36 CFR part 1194. Information about Section 508 is available at http://www.hhs.gov/web/508. The complete text of Section 508 Final Provisions can be accessed at http://www.access-board.gov/guidelines-and-standards/communications-and-it/about-the-section-508-standards.

B. The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract or order are identified in the Statement of Work or Specification or Performance Work Statement. The contractor must provide any necessary updates to the submitted HHS Product Assessment Template(s) at the end of each contract or order exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold (see FAR 2.101) when the contract or order duration is one year or less. If it is determined by the Government that EIT supplies and services provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the contract, remediation of the supplies or services to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.

C. The Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract are:

508 Standards (Appendix A) for - Chapter1: Application and Administration 508 Standards (Appendix C) for - Chapter 5: Software Requirements mailto:bradley.hill@psc.hhs.gov mailto:bradley.hill@psc.hhs.gov

The contractor in collaboration with the EA PMO shall ensure that 508 compliance is part of the implementation design and that 508 compliance issues are addressed in the design document.

The contractor shall make sure that any configuration, customization and introduction of data or media does not compromise 508 compliance.

(xvi) Brand Name Requirement – Imanami is a tool used in our Production Environment for Active Directory work. This product uniquely allows OCIO to perform multiple tasks in one session. New entries will use correct security, entry into proper distribution groups and these groups are easily managed across multiple systems uniquely with Imanami. Imanami is also used to manage PIV exemptions and VPN access for end users. Without this software significantly more steps are involved to perform similar tasks. No Third-Party Support will be accepted. OCIO may purchase through a reseller but obtain support through Imanami. Vendors bidding must be Authorized Imanami Resellers – this also protects our current and future warranties.

(xxii) The clauses at FAR 52.232-40, Providing Accelerated Payment to Small Business Subcontractors (DEC 2013); HHSAR 352.203-70, Anti-Lobbying (DEC 2015); HHSAR 352.222-70, Contractor Cooperation in Equal Employment Opportunity Investigations (DEC 2015); apply to this acquisition.
