We have a Purchase Policy that refers to a committee that accessibility is a part of.  We also have an accessibility policy that include procurement.  Finally, we have a lot of information to help vendors know the necessary steps to provide the information needed to help make a speedy purchase.

Hi Everyone,
We are working on revising our Software and Materials Purchase Policy to include accessibility requirements.  Does anyone have a accessibility checklist that they can share to help us get started on this?
Thank you,
Susan
