Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document outlines the ICT Accessibility Requirements Statement per the Revised Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, specifically for electronic software. It details technical criteria and standards that software must meet to ensure accessibility.

• General Exceptions: Outlines exceptions to the accessibility requirements.
• Technical Criteria for Software (E207.1, E207.2, E207.3): Specifies requirements for software components, user interface components, and complete processes for non-web software, referencing WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA Success Criteria.
• Technical Criteria for Electronic Content (E205.1, E205.3, E205.4): Addresses accessibility for electronic content, particularly non-public facing official communications, and references WCAG 2.0.
• Word Substitution: Clarifies how terms like "Web page" are substituted with "software" or "document" when applying WCAG to non-web contexts.
• Applicable Standards: Lists specific WCAG A & AA Success Criteria, Support Documentation, Support Services, and Functional Performance Criteria that apply.
• Software Interoperability: Details requirements for software to interoperate with assistive technology, including documented accessibility features, no disruption of platform features, and programmatic determinability of object information, values, and relationships.

This document is crucial for bidders developing or providing electronic software. It establishes the mandatory accessibility standards (Section 508 and WCAG 2.0) that the software must comply with. Bidders must ensure their proposed solutions meet these requirements, which will likely be a key factor in proposal evaluation and contract performance.
