This announcement is issued solely for information and planning purposes and all information provided is subject to change. It does not constitute a solicitation (Request for Proposal or Request for Quotations) or a promise to issue a solicitation in the future. This announcement does not commit the government to contract for any supply or service, whatsoever. Furthermore, the government is not, at this time, seeking proposals for any requirement discussed in these or related materials. Responders are advised that the government will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this announcement. All costs associated with responding to this announcement will be solely at the responding party's expense. We have over 20 other State and US Government agencies who have asked to attend the event so the audience will be wider than the Library accessibility team. That said, everyone attending understands the importance of accessibility.� Please avoid focusing your presentation on why accessibility or usability testing with people with disabilities is important. Instead, please focus your presentation on: the features of the tools or services you provide, if applicable, what makes your tool or service unique, If applicable, if you have lightweight testing tools that can be used by all staff versus enterprise system where there might be only a few seats. if applicable, the types of usability and recruiting services you provide (eg user interviews, self-guided tests, etc.), and any general pricing and license information you are willing to provide.
