Appendix C Vendor Accessibility Checklist 6_2026.docx

This is a Vendor Accessibility Checklist for the State of Colorado related to the Building Performance CO Database Management Administration contract opportunity. The checklist establishes digital accessibility requirements that vendors must address as part of their proposal or contract performance. Vendors are required to demonstrate compliance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and AA standards, as well as PDF/UA compliance for PDF documents. The checklist requires vendors to provide detailed responses regarding their accessibility commitment statements, compliance assessment methodologies, and the ability to deliver compliant digital content and documentation to the State.

Vendors must describe their accessibility testing and assessment procedures, including whether they employ automated tools, manual testing, or screen reader software such as JAWS or CommonLook. Additionally, vendors must confirm their ability to provide compliance reports for products created under the contract and identify a specific point of contact within their organization responsible for addressing accessibility-related questions. The checklist references the Vendor Accessibility Guide and WCAG 2.1 standards as primary resources for determining applicable requirements, ensuring that all deliverables meet current accessibility standards for both web-based and non-web information and communication technologies.
