About this file
This document is an accessibility standards attachment to a federal solicitation for Salesforce licenses (Solicitation 7571MN26Q00047). The attachment specifies HHS Section 508 and accessibility requirements that the contractor must meet for all information and communication technology (ICT) products, platforms, and services delivered under the contract.
All deliverables, including support services and documentation, must conform to the Revised 508 Standards as codified in 36 C.F.R. § 1194.1 and Appendices A, B, C, and D. The contractor is required to demonstrate Section 508 conformance prior to acceptance of deliverables by completing HHS Section 508 checklist(s) available at https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/accessibility-checklists/index.html. The government reserves the right to independently test ICT items to validate the contractor's conformance claims.

Solicitation: 7571MN26Q00047; Sales Force Licenses
Attachment: J.1
HHS SECTION 508 AND ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS
Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-220) requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use information and communication technology (ICT), it shall be accessible to people with disabilities. Federal employees and members of the public who have disabilities must have access to, and use of, information and data that is comparable to people without disabilities.
All products, platforms and services delivered as part of this work statement that are ICT, or contain ICT, must conform to the Revised 508 Standards, which are located at 36 C.F.R. §
1194.1 & Apps. A, B, C & D, and available at https://www.access-board.gov/ict/.
All requirements are applicable to support services and documentation deliverables. All functional performance criteria apply when using an alternative design or technology that achieves substantially equivalent or greater accessibility and usability by individuals with disabilities, than would be provided by conformance to one or more of the requirements in Chapters 4-6 of the Revised 508 Standards, or when Chapters 4-6 do not address one or more functions of ICT.
Prior to acceptance of deliverables, the contractor must demonstrate conformance to the HHS Section 508 requirements via HHS Section 508 checklist(s) (https://www.hhs.gov/web/section- 508/accessibility-checklists/index.html). The government reserves the right to perform testing on required ICT items to validate the contractor’s Section 508 conformance claims. If the government determines that Section 508 conformance does not meet the HHS Section 508 requirements, the government shall, at its option, require the contractor to remediate the item, at no additional cost to the government, to align with the HHS Section 508 conformance requirements prior to acceptance.
