508 and You - Procurement Official

GSA provides online training to assist buyers and procurement officials in meeting the requirements of Section 508. In addition, procurement officials may want to contact their Section 508 Coordinator for current status of implementation within their agency and to lend support to the development of procurement policy and procedures.

The Buy Accessible online database is also available to procurement officials to assist in their market research of available accessible technology. This database includes product information provided by the vendor. Because it is a self-representation by the vendor, the agency should continue to apply sound product selection and acceptance procedures before purchasing any product from a vendor.
