Accessibility Compliance for Digital Components

The contract mandates full compliance of all digital interfaces—including displays, applications, and software—with the SOM Digital Standards, which are aligned with WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility guidelines. This requires end-to-end testing, identification of accessibility barriers, and timely remediation to ensure equitable access for all users, particularly those with disabilities. All deliverables must meet measurable accessibility benchmarks throughout development and deployment, with verification processes integrated into each phase of the project lifecycle. As a subcontract under the Michigan State Procurement agency, this opportunity is open to qualified vendors responding before the deadline of August 3, 2026. The NAICS code 541512 indicates the work falls under custom computer programming services, emphasizing technical execution over general consulting. Performance is expected to adhere to stringent digital accessibility mandates with no geographic restriction specified for the place of performance, allowing remote or in-state execution as long as standards are met. The solicitation is managed through the Michigan state procurement portal and requires proposers to demonstrate proven experience in accessibility compliance, testing methodologies, and remediation of digital platforms.
