What's inside
A quick look at the contents.
Federal and state procurement that touches digital products has to address accessibility. The 2018 Section 508 refresh (36 CFR 1194) requires conformance with WCAG 2.0 Level A and AA, and many state and local solicitations now reference WCAG 2.1 AA or 2.2 AA directly. This checklist helps buyers ask the right questions during procurement — what standards to cite, what evidence to require, what contract language to include — so accessibility is settled before the contract is awarded, not after.
- Pre-RFP checklist: standards to cite, conformance level, VPAT requirements, exception language
- Vendor screening: what evidence to require, what questions to ask, what to verify
- Standard contract clauses for accessibility conformance and remediation
- A glossary of the procurement terms agencies use that vendors miss
