Section 508 required the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) to publish standards setting forth a definition of electronic and information technology and the technical and functional criteria for such technology to comply with Section 508. These standards have been developed and published with an effective date of December 21, 2000. Federal departments and agencies shall develop all Electronic and Information Technology requirements to comply with the standards found in 36 CFR 1194. 2.1.Section 508 - Electronic and Information Technology (EIT) Standards: The Section 508 standards established by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board) are incorporated into, and made part of all VA orders, solicitations and purchase orders developed to procure Electronic and Information Technology (EIT). These standards are found in their entirety at: http://www.section508.gov and http://www.section508.gov/acquisition-regulations. A printed copy of the standards will be supplied upon request. The Contractor shall comply with the technical standards as marked: 1 § 1194.21 Software applications and operating systems 1 § 1194.22 Web-based intranet and internet information and applications 0 § 1194.23 Telecommunications products 0 § 1194.24 Video and multimedia products 0 § 1194.25 Self-contained, closed products 0 § 1194.26 Desktop and portable computers 0 § 1194.31 Functional Performance Criteria 1 § 1194.41 Information, Documentation, and Support 2.2.Equivalent Facilitation Alternatively, offerors may propose products and services that provide equivalent facilitation, pursuant to Section 508, subpart A, §1194.5. Such offerors will be considered to have provided equivalent facilitation when the proposed deliverables result in substantially equivalent or greater access to and use of information for those with disabilities. 2.3.Compatibility with Assistive Technology The Section 508 standards do not require the installation of specific accessibility-related software or the attachment of an assistive technology device. Section 508 requires that the EIT be compatible with such software and devices so that EIT can be accessible to and usable by individuals using assistive technology, including but not limited to screen readers, screen magnifiers, and speech recognition software. 2.4.Acceptance and Acceptance Testing Deliverables resulting from this solicitation will be accepted based in part on satisfaction of the identified Section 508 standards' requirements for accessibility and must include final test results demonstrating Section 508 compliance. Deliverables should meet applicable accessibility requirements and should not adversely affect accessibility features of existing EIT technologies. The Government reserves the right to independently test for 508 Compliance before delivery. The Contractor shall be able to demonstrate 508 Compliance upon delivery. Automated test tools and manual techniques are used in the VA Section 508 compliance assessment.
