SSED 2 Solicitation Background

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 requires Federal agencies to consider the needs of qualified individuals with disabilities when it develops, procures, or uses new Electronic Information Technology (EIT).  The 1998 Amendments to Section 508 of the Act directed the Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (Access Board), to develop technical and functional access standards for EIT that became part of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).  To comply with Section 508, all Federal agencies are required to incorporate these standards into their procurement policies and directives.

The IRS Information Resources Accessibility Program (IRAP) Program Office manages and oversees a Service wide program to help make EIT systems accessible to employees and customers with disabilities.  The IRAP’s Program Office mission is to enable accessible information technology (IT) through integrated solutions, services and standards.
