What is the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)?
The purpose of the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template is to assist Federal contracting officials in making preliminary
assessments regarding the availability of commercial Electronic and Information Technology products and services with features
that support accessibility. It is assumed 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.
