      Voluntary Product Accessibility Template®
                                   Version 1.3

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.
