The procurement focuses on WCAG 2.1 AA/2.2 AA standards compliance, targeting web accessibility solutions for public and non-profit entities across 45 states. The scope encompasses seven critical workstreams: accessibility assessments and audits, ongoing monitoring and scanning platforms, source-level remediation support, training and capacity building, policy and governance management, document and PDF remediation, and video/multimedia accessibility services. Proposers must demonstrate alignment with Department of Justice and WCAG standards, provide true remediation approaches without overlay solutions, and showcase implementation capabilities. The solicitation was issued on December 15, 2025, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for January 8, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. CT, and proposals due January 30, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. CT.

The evaluation will occur from February 2-20, 2026, with a contract award expected by February 27, 2026.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, but requires comprehensive federal compliance certifications including EDGAR requirements, debarment and suspension certifications, and Equal Employment Opportunity attestations. Proposers will be evaluated across multiple criteria, including technical solution alignment (30 points), remediation approach (15 points), implementation capabilities (15 points), deployment flexibility (10 points), reporting features (10 points), qualifications (10 points), and pricing (10 points). The resulting Master Agreement will have a five-year term with options to renew for two additional two-year periods. AFI projects the contract value will exceed $20 million with estimated annual procurement volumes across numerous states. Vendors must agree to a three percent administrative fee payable to Edge Public on total purchase amounts and submit monthly contract sales reports by the 10th of each month. Pricing must be submitted via a structured Excel workbook and include platform subscriptions, professional service rates, volume-based discounts, and cooperative-level pricing guarantees.
