Procurement of Accessible Products and Services

Use this toolkit if you plan to procure mainstream technology or services for the general office environment.

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 and help the procuring organization meet its mandated obligation to purchase more accessible goods and services.
