The Accessible Procurement Toolkit is a Web-based application that delivers accessibility requirements and standards to apply to a purchase of mainstream products and services. Applying these standards will ensure that products meet "Universal Design" principles. The inclusion of these standards will help the procuring organization meet its mandated obligation to purchase more accessible goods and services.
