5. Rationale Justifying Use of Cited Statutory Authority

The WBT training modules must be executed through the Department of Navy’s TWMS system. They must, therefore, use software that is fully compatible and interoperable with TWMS.

Additionally, Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires Federal agencies to make their electronic and information technology (EIT) fully accessible to people with disabilities.

Sunset Design & Programing is the only company in the market that currently meets these two requirements. It has been successfully produced WBT modules that are fully Section 508 compliant for Naval Sea Systems Command since 2014 using the TWMS system as the platform for distribution.
