About this opportunity
The Government Publishing Office is soliciting services for the assessment and remediation of digital files to achieve compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 USC Section 508). The contractor will be responsible for remediating files by adding text equivalents for non-text elements through alt tags and longdesc attributes, organizing documents to be readable without style sheets, identifying row and column headers in data tables, and providing HTML or text alternatives for PDF files. All remediated files must meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and Level AA Success Criteria, with PDF/UA compliance required upon request. While the solicitation notice does not explicitly detail the evaluation criteria, the specifications indicate that technical compliance with these accessibility standards will be central to contract performance. The solicitation was posted on March 4, 2026, with a submission deadline of March 17, 2026, providing interested vendors with a 13-day response window.
This procurement carries no set-aside designation, meaning all eligible vendors may compete regardless of business size or status. The solicitation notice does not identify any incumbent contractors or provide specific award values or budget ranges. Similarly, no quantitative details regarding the volume of files to be remediated or the expected timeline for service completion are included in the available information. The place of performance and other detailed numerical specifications are referenced as being available on the Government Publishing Office's vendor website at https://www.gpo.gov/how-to-work-with-us/vendors/contract-opportunities, which would contain the complete contract specifications necessary for prospective bidders to develop competitive proposals.
