ADA Digital Accessibility – WCAG 2. 1 AA / 2. 2 AA Compliance Services – Consulting and Design

The Alliance for Innovation (AFI) is leading a cooperative procurement for ADA Digital Accessibility and WCAG 2.1 AA/2.2 AA Compliance Services, targeting consulting and design solutions for public sector entities nationwide. The Request for Proposal seeks professional services across seven defined workstreams: Accessibility Assessments & Audits, Program Roadmaps/Strategy, Remediation Planning, Training/Education, Policy/Governance, Document Accessibility, and Multimedia Accessibility Consulting. Proposals are due January 30, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. CT, with a pre-proposal conference scheduled for January 8, 2026, and written questions due by January 14, 2026. Offerors must provide services currently delivered to public sector clients, with pricing potentially including hourly rates, fixed-fee packages, volume-based discounts, and multi-year engagement models. The evaluation will focus on compliance with federal requirements, service delivery capabilities, pricing structures, and the ability to meet comprehensive digital accessibility needs for participating public agencies.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though federal compliance requirements suggest potential opportunities for diverse vendors. Proposing organizations must comply with EDGAR certifications, Equal Employment Opportunity provisions, and domestic preference requirements. The anticipated contract value exceeds $10 million, with an initial five-year term and options to renew for two additional two-year periods. Awarded vendors will be required to submit monthly Contract Sales Reports and pay a 5% administrative fee to Edge Public calculated on total purchase amounts. No minimum purchase volume is guaranteed, but annual procurement volume is expected to be substantial. The procurement is structured as a multi-vendor award, allowing for multiple suppliers to be selected across different service categories to ensure comprehensive coverage of digital accessibility consulting needs for public sector entities.
