NetScanTools Pro Section 508 - Voluntary Product Accessibility Template
The purpose of the Voluntary
Product Accessibility Template, or VPAT, is to assist Federal
contracting officials and other buyers in making preliminary
assessments regarding the availability of commercial “Electronic
and Information Technology” products and services with features
that support accessibility. It is assumed and recommended that
offerers will provide additional contact information to
facilitate more detailed inquiries. The first table of the
Template provides a summary view of the section 508 Standards.
The subsequent tables provide more detailed views of each
subsection. There are three columns in each table. Column one of
the Summary Table describes the subsections of subparts B and C
of the Standards. The second column describes the supporting
features of the product or refers you to the corresponding
detailed table, "e.g., equivalent facilitation." The third
column contains any additional remarks and explanations
regarding the product. In the subsequent tables, the first
column contains the lettered paragraphs of the subsections. The
second column describes the supporting features of the product
with regard to that paragraph. The third column contains any
additional remarks and explanations regarding the product.
