RFI - Section 508 Accessibility

The General Services Administration (GSA) Office of Government-wide Policy (OGP) is seeking information regarding best practices from industry in order to improve the "Accessibility of Federal websites, applications, services, and other forms of Electronic Information Technology (EIT). The Federal Government has a statutory obligation to meet the objectives of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 by ensuring that persons with disabilities have equal access to and use of information and data that is comparable to the access and use by persons who are not individuals with disabilities.

This Request for Information (RFI) is issued solely for information and planning purposes, in order to help GSA better understand the range of advanced products, technologies, services, and resources available in the private sector. This does not constitute a Request for Proposal (RFP). However, the information gathered by GSA will be used to assess opportunities for innovative improvements in the accessibility programs for its electronic services, which may lead to the issuance of one or more RFPs at a later date. Responses to this RFI will not negatively affect a potential respondent's ability to respond to any RFP that might follow. Please ensure that any sensitive or protected information is marked as such, and the government will ensure this information is not released.
