This briefing covers active market intelligence, regulatory guidelines, and tactical capture recommendations for federal and defense contractors pursuing opportunities in this procurement classification.
To celebrate 25 years of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the National Association of State Chief Information Officers (NASCIO) released on July 30 a brief designed to help state governments improve IT accessibility. The brief, called Accessibility in IT Procurement, is the first in a series of two documents that outlines an approach to increased IT accessibility called Policy-Driven Adoption for Accessibility (PDAA). NASCIO Executive Director Doug Robinson said this document endeavors to fill a longstanding gap.
“This has been a topic of discussion for a long time,” Robinson said. “The recognition here is that state governments really have not had a focused plan or approach to address accessiblity requirements as part of IT procurement. It’s been isolated and not done universally. We want to use this as an opportunity to connect the dots between enterprise architecture, PDAA and procurement done in a strategic way.”
This announcement serves both to inform state government that this is an area of need, Robinson said, but also to drive accessibility in the marketplace.
