This document is an ICT Accessibility Requirements Statement per the Revised Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, providing technical criteria and standards that electronic software must meet to ensure accessibility for users with disabilities.

The document establishes mandatory accessibility standards organized into three primary categories: Electronic Software, with general requirements addressing software components that transmit information or have user interfaces, which must conform to E207 standards and WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria; non-Web Software, which requires word substitutions replacing "Web page" and "page" with "software" when applying WCAG standards, and must accomplish multi-step activities in conformance with WCAG 2.0; and Software-specific technical criteria under Chapter 5, which mandate interoperability with assistive technology, documented accessibility features, programmable object information and modification capabilities, proper data table structure, text rendering, user action execution, focus tracking, event notification, and user preferences for color, contrast, font type, font size, and focus cursor. The document references multiple supporting standards including WCAG A & AA Success Criteria (with specific exceptions for Bypass Blocks, Multiple Ways, Consistent Navigation, and Consistent Identification), Support Documentation (602), Support Services (603), and Functional Performance Criteria (302). The instructions direct that this Accessibility Requirements Report be incorporated into solicitation requirements documents such as SOOs, SOWs, or PWSs, with reference to the Revised 508 Standards Toolkit for additional procurement process guidance.
