About this file
This is a HHS Acquisition Regulation (HHSAR) clause 352.239-79 titled "Information and Communication Technology Accessibility" dated February 2024. The clause outlines requirements for Section 508 compliance for all information and communication technology (ICT) supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, and services provided under government contracts.
The clause requires contractors to ensure all ICT deliverables comply with Revised 508 Standards per 36 C.F.R. 1194.1. Contractors must submit a completed HHS Section 508 Accessibility Conformance Checklist or Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) when modifications add new ICT supplies/services. If deliverables are found non-compliant, contractors must remediate them at their own expense. For indefinite-delivery contracts, Section 508 requirements will be defined in individual task orders. The clause appears to be an attachment to solicitation 75N95025Q00115-RFQ for mass spectrometer maintenance services at the National Institute on Aging.

As prescribed in 339.203-70(b), insert the following clause:
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBILITY (FEB 2024) (DEVIATION)
(a) Pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, all information and communication technology (ICT) supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, and services support developed, acquired, maintained or delivered under this contract or order must comply with the Revised 508 Standards, which are located at 36 C.F.R. 1194.1 and Appendices A, B, and C, and are available at https://www.access-board.gov/ict/. Information about Section 508 is available at https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/index.html.
(b) Additional Section 508 accessibility standards applicable to this contract or order may be identified in the specification, statement of work, or performance work statement. If it is determined by the Government that ICT supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, and services support provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the contract, remediation of the supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.
(c) In the event of a modification(s) to this contract or order, which adds new ICT supplies or services or revises the type of, or specifications for, supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support, the Contracting Officer shall require that the Contractor submit a completed HHS Section 508 Accessibility Conformance Checklist (see https://www.hhs.gov/web/section- 508/accessibility-checklists/index.html) or an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) (based on the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) see https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat), and any other additional information necessary to assist the Government in determining that the ICT supplies or services conform to Section 508 accessibility standards. If it is determined by the Government that ICT supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, and services support provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the contract, remediation of the supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.
(d) If this is an Indefinite-Delivery type contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement or a Basic
Ordering Agreement, the task/delivery order requests that include ICT supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support will define the specifications and accessibility standards for the order. In those cases, the Contractor shall be required to provide a completed HHS Section 508 Accessibility Conformance Checklist (see https://www.hhs.gov/web/section- 508/accessibility-checklists/index.html) or an ACR (based on the VPAT see https://www.access-board.gov/ict/ https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/accessibility-checklists/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/accessibility-checklists/index.html https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/accessibility-checklists/index.html https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/accessibility-checklists/index.html https://www.itic.org/policy/accessibility/vpat), and any other additional information necessary to assist the Government in determining that the ICT supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support conform to Section 508 accessibility standards. If it is determined by the Government that ICT supplies and services provided by the Contractor do not conform to the described accessibility standards in the provided documentation, remediation of the supplies, products, platforms, information, documentation, or services support to the level of conformance specified in the contract will be the responsibility of the Contractor at its own expense.
(e) The contractor shall identify to the Contracting Officer any perceived exception or exemption to Section 508 requirements.
