Buy Accessible
GSA provides
technical assistance to federal agencies and the general public in many
forms such as, but not limited to, policy support, training,
coordination, and show-casing assistive technologies.
The Buy Accessible program is part of GSA’s
commitment to provide standard processes and tools for government-wide
compliance with Section 508 that were developed by industry
stakeholders’ determination on how to best implement the standard.
The Buy Accessible System
To date there are two
components in the Buy Accessible System: The Buy Accessible Wizard and
the Buy Accessible Data Center. Both use other integral applications,
including an extensive Glossary and Taxonomy. Click
here for more information about how
the Buy Accessible components interact within the system.
