Instructions to Offerors

1. For each commercially available Information and Communications Technology (ICT) item offered through this contract, the Offeror shall provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The ACR shall be created using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.1 or later. The template can be found at https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat. Each ACR shall be completed in accordance with all the instructions provided in the VPAT 2. template. Each ACR must address the applicable Section 508 requirements referenced in the Work Statement. Each ACR shall state exactly how the ICT meets the applicable standards in the remarks/explanations column, or through additional narrative. All “Supports”, “Supports with Exceptions”, “Does Not Support”, and “Not Applicable” (N/A) responses must be explained in the remarks/explanations column or through additional narrative. The offeror is cautioned to address each standard individually and with specificity, and to be clear whether conformance is achieved throughout the entire ICT Item (for example - user functionality, administrator functionality, and reporting), or only in limited areas of the ICT Item. The ACR shall provide a description of the evaluation methods used to support Section 508 conformance claims. The agency reserves the right, prior to making an award decision, to perform testing on some https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2017-title36-vol3/pdf/CFR-2017-title36-vol3-part1194.pdf https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2017-title36-vol3/pdf/CFR-2017-title36-vol3-part1194.pdf https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat or all of the Offeror’s proposed ICT items to validate Section 508 conformance claims made in the

ACR.

2. The offeror shall provide describe accessibility remediation plans for features that don’t fully conform to the Section 508 Standards.

2. Before accepting ICT required under the contract, the government reserves the right to perform testing on required ICT items to validate the offeror’s Section 508 conformance claims. If the government determines that Section 508 conformance claims provided by the offeror represent a higher level of conformance than what is actually provided to the agency, the government shall, at its option, require the offeror to remediate the item to align with the offeror’s original Section 508 conformance claims prior to acceptance.
