How do States/host sites comply with Section 508 standards of the Rehabilitation Act as mentioned in the sample request for proposal; specifically website compliance?
States and host sites must ensure that their procurement of electronic and information technology takes into account the needs of all end users – including that members of the public with disabilities who are seeking information or services have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to others. See Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (http://www.access-board.gov/508.htm) and the Federal IT Accessibility Initiative (http://section508.gov/) for detailed information.
