About this file

This is an Electronic Information Resource Accessibility Requirements exhibit for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Learning Management System contract. The document outlines the state's commitment to compliance with federal and state accessibility laws, including Texas Government Code 2054.457, Texas Administrative Code 206 and 213, and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For digital experiences and software components of the proposed solution, respondents must provide a current Accessibility Conformance Report demonstrating compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 A and AA standards, submit an accessibility conformance score as a fraction of met criteria over applicable criteria from the 55 total WCAG 2.2A and AA criteria, and present a remediation plan with a timeline not to exceed 12 months for any identified accessibility gaps. Respondents must also identify existing customer-support channels and workarounds that can serve as temporary solutions during remediation implementation.

For hardware and devices included in the response, such as copiers, phones, faxes, printers, and electronic signs, the Department requires compliance with the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards and Section 508 Hardware Standards (Chapter 4). Respondents proposing hardware or devices must submit a current Accessibility Conformance Report produced within the last six months. These requirements establish mandatory accessibility standards that all proposed solutions must meet or exceed to qualify for consideration in the Learning Management System procurement.

Electronic Information Resource Accessibility Requirements

A. The Department aims to comply with applicable federal and state laws governing accessibility when procuring digital products and services:

1. Texas Government Code (TGC) 2054.457, enacted in 2005, requires that all state agencies and institutions of higher education provide state employees and members of the public access to and use of electronic information resources.

2. 1 Texas Administrative Code (TAC) 206, aligns state web accessibility standards with the federal regulations set forth in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

3. 1 TAC 213 enacted state standards for procurement, development, or usage of Electronic

Information Resources (EIR) for people with disabilities and aligns accessibility standards with the federal regulations set forth in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.

B. Digital Experiences and Software

The Department strives to ensure that all digital products and services procured, where applicable, meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 A and AA. If Digital Experiences or software are part of the RFO Response, Respondents must:

1. Provide a current (produced within the last six months) Accessibility Conformance Report

(ACR) for the Digital Experience or software being offered.

2. Provide an accessibility conformance score, expressed as a fraction, of the number of accessibility criteria met (“supports”) over the total number of applicable criteria. Of the 55 WCAG 2.2A and AA criteria, not all criteria may be applicable.

3. Provide a remediation plan for remedying the known accessibility gaps with a timeline of no more than 12 months.

4. Identify existing customer-support channels and known workarounds for the identified accessibility issues that, combined, can serve as a temporary stopgap while the remediation plan is being implemented.

C. Hardware and Devices

1. The Department strives to ensure that all hardware and devices, such as copiers, phones, faxes, printers, electronic signs, and more, where applicable, meet or exceed, where applicable, the 2012 Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS) and the Hardware Standards in Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (Chapter 4).

2. If hardware or devices are part of the RFO Response, Respondents must provide a current (produced within the last six months) Accessibility Conformance Report for the devices or hardware being offered.
