EIT Undue Burden Exception Determination
To be completed by the Requiring Official
[For each applicable Access Board standard that the agency finds
to be an undue burden, the requiring official must explain why, and to what extent, compliance
with the standard creates an undue burden. For commercial acquisitions, this determination document
is not required to address standards that are not available in the commercial marketplace
in time to meet the Agency's delivery requirement.]
1. Describe the products or services required to meet the agency’s
needs.
2. Dollar value of the acquisition, including any options.
3. List the standards for which compliance is an undue burden.
4. Describe the market research performed to locate commercial
items that meet the applicable standards.
5. What is the undue burden (i.e., the significant difficulty or
expense the Government would incur in order to comply with a particular standard), taking into
consideration the resources available to the program for which the supply or service is being
acquired. If the monetary expense is deemed prohibitive, explain the costs and how they were
estimated.
6. Describe the alternate means of access that will be provided
that will allow individuals with disabilities to use the information or data (29 U.S.C. 794d(a)(1)(B).
In accordance with FAR 39.204, I have determined that procurement
of EIT product(s) that meet the Access Board standards identified in paragraph 3 above
is an "undue burden."
