Website Accessibility Compliance Services

The state school for the blind is seeking website accessibility compliance services to update its website to ensure WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance prior to the federal deadline. The agency requires a vendor to perform automated scanning to identify initial issues like color contrast and missing alt-text, alongside keyboard-only testing to verify logical focus order and visible focus indicators. The selected provider must conduct mandatory manual screen reader scans using JAWS, NVDA, and Voiceover to verify reading order, announcement quality, interactive element clarity, and dynamic content behavior. The scope of work also covers the implementation of quality alt-text and long descriptions for educational graphics to provide equal pedagogical value. The agency requires assistive technology optimization through ARIA landmarks and skip navigation links, as well as non-visual error handling via aria-live regions. Additionally, the project demands document and media remediation for all PDFs and videos, alongside verification that web elements translate logically to Refreshable Braille Displays. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based solely in the United States. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite at the vendor's own office premises. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than July 2, 2026.
