VPAT Review Services

The University of Georgia has issued a Request for Information (RFI) for Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) Review Services, with a posting date of January 27, 2026, and a response deadline of February 5, 2026. This eRFI is not a competitive solicitation but rather an information-gathering tool to help UGA identify third-party vendors capable of providing VPAT review services to support the institution's digital accessibility compliance efforts. The primary objective is to collect accessibility information necessary to evaluate both new and existing digital content and assets, as UGA's updated Digital Accessibility Policy mandates that all new digital content and information technology must meet Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA standards by April 24, 2026. Suppliers responding to this eRFI should demonstrate expertise in conducting VPAT reviews, assessing digital content and IT systems for accessibility compliance, and potentially providing recommendations for remediation of non-compliant materials. While the eRFI is not a binding competitive solicitation and failure to respond will not prevent vendors from participating in future competitive solicitations, interested suppliers are strongly encouraged to submit responses to ensure the University of Georgia is aware of available goods and services in the marketplace.

This eRFI contains no stated set-aside designations or restrictions limiting organizational eligibility to respond, meaning all qualified vendors are welcome to submit information regarding their VPAT review service capabilities. The opportunity does not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing technology infrastructure that would require integration with proposed solutions. No specific award values or budget ranges have been disclosed in this information-gathering phase, as the eRFI is designed to inform UGA's future procurement strategy rather than to commit funds at this stage. Suppliers participating in this eRFI process should understand that the information gathered may or may not result in a subsequent competitive solicitation, and responses should comprehensively outline service offerings, qualifications, and capabilities related to VPAT review and digital accessibility assessment services.
