Understanding the VPAT Analysis and Determination Process

Course Overview

Purchasing accessible goods and services has become an increasing challenge for both purchasers and requestors. As organizations strive to increase diversity and inclusion, those responsible for acquiring accessible products are tasked with evaluating complex solutions based on a variety of credible evidence, such as a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) / Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR).

In this self-paced course, we will provide a documented method for evaluating vendor ACR attestations with the goal of making a determination: Award Eligible, Award Eligible with Exception Process, or Rejection.

At the end of the class, the student will have a template-driven methodology to guide them through the complex decision process. This process includes documenting areas of ACR deficiency, changes to scope, and changes to the overall product cost.
