- Description
- Page 1 of 1 Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) established a Section 508 Program Office within VA Central Office in order to provide accessible services, conformance testing solutions and innovative strategies for implementing the goals and objectives of the Section 508 legislation. Additionally, this Program Office helps to increase awareness of both accessibility issues and accessibility-related programs for internal and external VA stakeholders. The Section 508 Program Office manages the compliance of VA websites HyperText Markup Language (HTML). This contract action will provide VA with additional licenses and maintenance for the accessibility compliance scanning automated tool so that the entirety of the enterprise has licenses. Purchasing the additional licenses and installing them across the enterprise will allow VA to provide unlimited access to development teams and content providers, with the resulting 508-compliant websites available to VA internal users as well as Veterans. This acquisition will also require the contractor to develop and execute a transition plan for transferring the HTML scanning and support services, which are currently provided by a contractor, to a VA-provided service. This will allow VA to take full technical ownership of the technology and associated processes, and eliminate a dependence upon consultant expertise. The period of performance for this effort will be 12-months from date of award. Each period of performance includes optional tasks. The North American Industrial Classification (NAICS) for this effort is 541512. This acquisition will be conducted on the basis of small business set-aside. The resultant contract will be firm fixed priced. A formal source selection process will be utilized and contract award will be based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government. *The Offeror s technical volume shall be a Section 508-compliant Adobe PDF document. PDF accessibility shall be ascertained by the VA via use of Adobe Acrobat Professional XI s Accessibility Checker. Technical volumes not submitted in a 508-compliant Adobe PDF document will not be reviewed nor considered, and will be deemed to be unacceptable. * Questions/responses shall be submitted to the contract specialist by Monday, August 7, 2017 at 3PM EST at Amanda.Bleses@va.gov. The Points of Contact (POCs) for this action are Amanda Bleses, Contract Specialist, and Jan Oberdick, Contracting Officer, Jan.Oberdick@va.gov.
