Accessibility assurance across the delivery lifecycle

Three primary services — Independent Accessibility Validation, Document Accessibility & Remediation, and VPAT/ACR Services — supported by Section 508 audits, ADA Title II readiness, remediation support, procurement reviews, and training. Every engagement is scoped from a short intake, with scope, standards, deliverables, timing, and fees agreed before quoting.

Primary services

Three primary services

508 Audit supports government agencies, prime contractors, public-sector digital agencies, and technology vendors with accessibility testing, remediation coordination and production, quality assurance, independent evaluation of third-party work, and documented findings and acceptance evidence. Appropriate automation supports production where suitable, with qualified human review where the agreed scope requires it.

We do not publish rates. Each engagement is quoted from a short intake against a defined scope — the templates, workflows, document sets or properties in question, the evidence and reporting required, and the verification rounds included.

Illustrative deliverables

Review clearly labeled educational examples. They are not client artifacts and do not promise a format, testing method, or sign-off for every engagement.

View Illustrative Deliverables

  • Independent Accessibility Validation

    Scoped from a short intake

    Testing and evidence-based evaluation of accessibility claims, third-party remediation, digital deliverables, and automated accessibility output. Can include Section 508 and WCAG audits, vendor assessments, acceptance testing, and procurement-side validation.

  • Document Accessibility & Remediation

    Scoped from a short intake

    Document-library triage, accessible-document production, complex-document remediation, appropriate automation, qualified specialist review, QA, and recurring document accessibility support. Production with our own QA is distinct from independent evaluation of another organization's work.

  • VPAT / ACR Services

    Scoped from a short intake

    Evidence-backed preparation, review, refinement, and procurement-side assessment of accessibility conformance documentation. Testing, evaluator responsibilities, sign-off, OpenACR, and reporting formats are included only when agreed in the engagement scope.

On a federal proposal deadline? Expedited ACR support can be arranged for narrowly scoped engagements, with the delivery date agreed before work begins. Methodology details on the methodology page.

Supporting capabilities

Services that support the three primary categories

Section 508 audits, ADA Title II readiness, remediation support, procurement reviews, ongoing maintenance, and training sit inside the three primary services or support the wider delivery lifecycle. The Living Conformance Programme remains available as an ongoing engagement model for maintaining conformance over time.

Standalone website audit

Independent Website Accessibility Audits Before Launch

For government contractors and public-sector web teams preparing a completed website for acceptance and production. We scope the WCAG 2.2 Level AA evaluation to the agreed website, workflows, components, and release requirements.

The audit does not guarantee complete conformance or buyer acceptance. A website audit is distinct from reviewing an existing platform or vendor ACR, and from authoring a new ACR; either ACR service is included only when contracted.

Ways to start

Three defined entry points for delivery teams

Each engagement is written as a bounded work package. The exact scope, applicable standards, deliverables, schedule, and fee are established before quoting.

  • Accessibility Acceptance Sprint

    For prime contractors and digital agencies approaching a defined accessibility delivery milestone.

    Possible scope

    • Representative document or application testing
    • Verification of specified remediation findings
    • Accessibility issue documentation and supporting evidence
    • Defined retesting when included in the statement of work
    • Findings and disposition summary
    Request an Acceptance Sprint

  • Embedded Accessibility QA

    For delivery teams with continuing accessibility work.

    Possible scope

    • Defined monthly testing capacity
    • Issue tracking and triage
    • Remediation verification
    • Document accessibility review
    • Exception reporting and monthly delivery summaries
    Discuss Ongoing Accessibility Support

  • Automation Assurance Benchmark

    For organizations evaluating automated or AI-assisted document remediation.

    Possible scope

    • Representative document sampling
    • Testing of third-party automation output
    • Identification of unresolved and introduced defects
    • Assessment of reading order, document structure, tables, forms, and alternative text as applicable
    • Estimated remaining specialist effort, with suitability and workflow recommendations

Pricing approach

Every engagement is quoted from its agreed scope

Full Section 508 audits, ADA Title II readiness, multi-property audits, ACR programs, and ongoing remediation programs are scoped and priced individually. Narrowly scoped pilots and small document engagements — a document diagnostic, a targeted test, or a remediation QA batch — are also quoted individually, with no blanket minimum, so a small first engagement is possible without committing to a full program. See accessibility subcontracting for prime contractors for how a pilot is scoped for delivery teams.

Section 508 audit & ACR — frequently asked questions

The questions federal buyers and product teams ask most often before they commission an Accessibility Conformance Report.

  • What's the difference between a VPAT and an ACR?
    A VPAT (Voluntary Product Accessibility Template) is the document framework published by ITI. An ACR (Accessibility Conformance Report) is a completed VPAT for a specific product and version. Whether an ACR, signature, or other documentation is required depends on the procurement and contracted scope.
  • How long does a Section 508 audit take?
    Timing depends on scope, product complexity, access, required testing methods, and reporting needs. Any expedited schedule is confirmed only after scope and capacity review.
  • Do you test with assistive technology?
    Yes, where the agreed scope calls for it. Manual testing can include screen-reader review with NVDA, JAWS, or VoiceOver, keyboard-only navigation, zoom and reflow, and reduced-motion checks. The methods included in an engagement are stated in the statement of work. Automated scans run alongside manual evaluation, never instead of it.
  • What is 508 Audit's federal procurement status?
    508 Audit is actively registered in SAM.gov (UEI Z77WA4U6DGN7, CAGE 25SJ5). Opportunity-specific procurement details are confirmed directly for each opportunity.
  • Does an ACR guarantee my product is Section 508 compliant?
    An ACR documents conformance claims for a specific product version, scope, and evaluation date. It is not a perpetual guarantee or a guarantee of buyer acceptance. ACR support is included only when contracted.
  • Can you remediate the issues you find?
    Yes. Remediation and QA are scoped separately from independent evaluation. Review of work produced by 508 Audit is described as quality assurance or validation, while independent validation is reserved for work produced by another party.
