About this file

This is a Section 508 Accessibility Requirements document for ANSS Software Services that outlines ICT accessibility compliance requirements. The document specifies functional performance criteria for hardware and user interfaces, including requirements for operation without vision, with limited vision, without perception of color, without hearing, with limited hearing, without speech, with limited manipulation, with limited reach/strength, and with limited language/cognitive abilities.

Offerors must provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.1 or later for each ICT item, describe their universal design approach, address non-conforming features, and provide user scenarios including those for disabled users. The government reserves the right to test ICT items for Section 508 compliance before acceptance and may require remediation if delivered items don't match conformance claims. This document is related to a USGS solicitation (140G0325Q0019) for earthquake monitoring and data product distribution software support.

Instructions to Offerors

1 Provide an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for each commercially available Information and Communication Technology (ICT) item offered through this contract. Create the ACR using the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template Version 2.1 or later, located at https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat. Complete each ACR in accordance with the instructions provided in the VPAT 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.

https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat

All "Not Applicable" (N/A) responses must be explained in the remarks/explanations column or through additional narrative. Address each standard individually and with specificity, and clarify 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. 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 or all of the Offeror’s proposed ICT items to validate Section 508 conformance claims made in the ACR.

2 Describe your approach to incorporating universal design principles to ensure ICT products or services are designed to support disabled users.

3 Describe plans for features that do not fully conform to the Section 508 Standards.

4 Describe "typical" user scenarios and tasks, including individuals with disabilities, to ensure fair and accurate accessibility testing of the ICT product or service being offered.

Acceptance Criteria

1 Prior to acceptance, 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 an inaccurate level of conformance than what is actually delivered to the agency, the government shall, at its option, require the offeror to remediate the delivered item to align with the required Section 508 conformance claims prior to acceptance.
