GSA / openacr

OpenACR is a digital native Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The initial development is based on Section 508 requirements. The main goal is to be able to compare the accessibility claims of digital products and services. A structured, self-validated, machine-readable documentation will provide for this.

Remove sidebar link to Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™).

Add sidebar link to OpenACR page.

Under Products change:

The easiest way to showcase information about product accessibility to government buyers is to provide an OpenACR. Many procurements will still accept legacy Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT™) files, but make sure to check if OpenACR is specifically requested.

  • Learn about the OpenACR format and check out the OpenACR Editor

Under Responding to Solicitations change:

Government solicitations that involve ICT will include a list of requirements to ensure that the deliverable will be accessible. (Legacy formats now include both GPAT and VPAT™) When these requirements are included with a solicitation, your proposed solution must explain how you will address them.

  • Provide a written Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) for each ICT item, based on product OpenACR report for commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) items that will be configured or modified to meet contract requirements. The ACR must be a validated OpenACR format which follows the instructions in the OpenACR Editor considered for award.
