Remove sidebar link to Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™).

Add sidebar link to OpenACR page.

Under Products change:

The easiest way to showcase information about product accessibility to government buyers is to provide an OpenACR. Many procurements will still accept legacy Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™) files, but make sure to check if OpenACR is specifically requested.

• Learn about the OpenACR format and check out the OpenACR Editor

Under Responding to Solicitations change:

Government solicitations that involve ICT will include a list of requirements to ensure that the deliverable will be accessible. (Legacy formats now include both GPAT and VPAT™) When these requirements are included with a solicitation, your proposed solution must explain how you will address them.

• Provide a written Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for each ICT item, based on product OpenACR report for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items that will be configured or modified to meet contract requirements. The ACR must be a validated OpenACR format which follows the instructions in the OpenACR Editor considered for award.
