Government Product Accessibility Template for Software Development Services Summary

· Column one identifies all the Sections of the Standard that might apply to any deliverable.

· Column two identifies the total number of provisions contained within each Section of the Standard.

· Column three is for the agency to summarize accessibility requirements. Place the number of provisions determined to be applicable in this column based on program need and actual characteristics of your expected deliverable. Default values identify the total number of provisions that typically apply to a deliverable of this type. Some of these may not actually apply to a specific product if they correspond to features or function NOT included by a particular vendor’s deliverable. Conversely, others indicated to not apply may in fact apply if they correspond to features and functions that are included by a particular vendor’s deliverable. If the deliverable involves such additional features then the accessibility of those features must also be considered.

· Column four is for general notes about the Sections of the Standard. Some apply to all deliverables and some are specific to a particular deliverable.

· Columns five, six, and seven are for the vendor to summarize their responses to applicable provisions from each specific Section of the Standard.

· Column eight is where the vendor can note explanations for any of the preceding columns, e.g. there are differences between expected applicable provisions and actual product features.

Subpart B -- Technical Standards

· Column one is the identification of each technical provision within the Section of the Standard.

· Column two provides the full text of the provision from the Standard.

· Column three is for the agency to document accessibility requirements. Place a Yes or No in this column based on program need and actual characteristics of your expected deliverable. Default values indicate provisions that typically apply to a deliverable of this type based on typical common characteristics. If there is a possibility that the provision applies, the default value is “Yes”. Some of these may not actually apply if they correspond to features or function NOT included by a particular vendor’s deliverable. Conversely, others indicated to not apply may in fact apply if they correspond to features and functions that are included by a particular vendor’s deliverable. If the deliverable involves such additional features then the accessibility of those features must also be considered.

· Column four provides explanatory information about the provision to help both the agency in determining applicability and the vendor in providing accessibility information.

· Column five is for the vendor to indicate whether their deliverable meets, partially meets, or does not meet the specific applicable provision.

· Column six is for the vendor to provide an explanation of how the deliverable meets or does not meet the specific provision. It is also an opportunity to explain why a deliverable does not have an applicable feature or why it has a feature that was not identified as applicable.
