The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT™, is to assist
Federal contracting officials and other buyers in making preliminary assessments
regarding the availability of commercial “Electronic and Information Technology”
products and services with features that support accessibility. It is assumed and
recommended that offerers will provide additional contact information to facilitate more
detailed inquiries.
The first table of the Template provides a summary view of the Section 508 Standards.
The subsequent tables provide more detailed views of each subsection. There are three
columns in each table. Column one of the Summary Table describes the subsections of
subparts B and C of the Standards. The second column describes the supporting
features of the product or refers you to the corresponding detailed table, e.g., “equivalent
facilitation." The third column contains any additional remarks and explanations
regarding the product. In the subsequent tables, the first column contains the lettered
paragraphs of the subsections. The second column describes the supporting features of
the product with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any additional
remarks and explanations regarding the product.
