23 Section L Section L.4.2.1 Supply Order Tracking (SOT) Web Portal & Section 508 Compliance (Factor 1A): Section L.4.2.1 outlines requirements for a user-friendly, Section 508-compliant web portal to manage real-time order tracking, SKU searches, and status reporting.

Question 2A: If an offeror partners directly with an authorized OEM distributor and provides the FAA direct access to the distributor's established order tracking portal, will this satisfy the web portal requirement under Factor 1A?

Question 2B: Is providing the partner supplier’s official VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) acceptable to prove Section 508 compliance?

Answer 2A: No. The portal should be from the contractor and not the reseller. If tracking by the OEM provided, then it will require the government to track items from up to 6 portals.
