Read the first 6 Procurement and Accessibility flashcards as text

  1. Why should accessibility be included in procurement requirements from the beginning?

    Answer: Including requirements upfront ensures accessible products, avoids costly retrofitting, and establishes vendor accountability

    Including accessibility at procurement ensures vendors build it in from the start, reduces cost (retrofitting is 10-100x more expensive), and establishes accountability.

  2. What is an Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) and how does it differ from a VPAT?

    Answer: A VPAT is the template vendors complete, while the ACR is the completed document showing specific product conformance

    The VPAT is the blank template published by ITI; when completed for a specific product, the resulting document is an ACR.

  3. What accessibility requirements does Section 508 impose on federal procurement?

    Answer: Federal agencies must ensure all ICT they develop, procure, maintain, or use is accessible

    Section 508 requires federal agencies to ensure accessibility of all ICT, making it a mandatory evaluation criterion in acquisitions.

  4. How should organizations evaluate vendor accessibility claims during procurement?

    Answer: Use a multi-layered approach including reviewing VPATs critically, conducting independent testing, and requesting assistive technology demos

    Effective evaluation requires critical VPAT review, independent testing, AT demonstrations, reference checks, and roadmap assessment.

  5. What role does EN 301 549 play in European public procurement?

    Answer: It is the mandatory reference standard for ICT accessibility in European public procurement

    EN 301 549 is the harmonized standard providing presumption of conformity with EU accessibility directives in public procurement.

  6. What is a 'market analysis' in accessible procurement?

    Answer: Research to identify available accessible products, understand the market landscape, and determine achievable accessibility levels

    Market analysis surveys available products to understand what accessibility levels are achievable, informing realistic requirements.
