C.26 COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 508 OF THE REHABILITATION ACT OF 1973, AS AMENDED(AUG 2011)

In 1998, Congress amended the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d) as amended by the WorkforceInvestment Act of 1998 (P.L. 105 - 220), August 7, 1998 to require Federal agencies to make their electronic andinformation technology (EIT) accessible to people with disabilities. Inaccessible technology interferes with an abilityto obtain and use information quickly and easily. Section 508 was enacted to eliminate barriers in informationtechnology, open new opportunities for people with disabilities, and encourage development of technologies that willhelp achieve these goals. The law applies to all Federal agencies when they develop, procure, maintain, or useelectronic and information technology. Under Section 508 (29 U.S.C. 794d), agencies must give disabled employeesand members of the public access to information that is comparable to access available to others.

Specifically, Section 508 of that Act requires that when Federal agencies develop, procure, maintain, or use EIT,Federal employees with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that Is comparable to the accessand use by Federal employees who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed onthe agency. (36 C.F.R. 1194 implements Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and isviewable at: http://www.access-board.gov/sec5O8/standards.htm)

Exceptions.

All EIT that the government acquires by purchase or by lease/rental under this contract must meet the applicableaccessibility standards at 36 C.F.R. Part 1194, unless one or more of the following exceptions at FAR 39.204 appliesto this acquisition (applicable if checked):

[i The EIT is for a national security system.

] The EIT is acquired by a contractor incidental to a contract.

rl The EIT is located in spaces frequented only by service personnel for maintenance, repair or occasionalmonitoring of equipment.

0i Compliance with the applicable 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 provisions would impose an undue burden on the agency.

Applicable Standards.

The following accessibility standards from 36 C.F.R. Part 1194 have been determined to be applicable to thiscontract/order. See www.section508.gov for more information:
