Why this matters now

Accessibility requirements are tightening and enforcement is real

Local governments face increasing pressure to ensure websites, documents, and digital services are accessible to people with disabilities. Deadlines and enforcement actions mean waiting is risky.

Many entities struggle with:

Writing technically sound RFPs
Evaluating vendor claims (“fully compliant” ≠ reality)
Time and cost of standalone procurements
Ensuring procurement is defensible and auditable

This cooperative solicitation is designed to remove that burden.

A compliant path to qualified ADA service providers

This is a competitively awarded cooperative contract that allows participating entities to procure accessibility services without issuing their own RFP—while remaining compliant with procurement rules.

Entities gain access to:

Pre-evaluated, qualified accessibility service providers
Clearly defined scopes of service (websites, PDFs, monitoring, remediation)
Faster purchasing timelines
Reduced legal and procurement risk

Who this is for

This registration is intended for:

  • Cities and towns
  • Counties
