UO has a new Interim Accessibility Procurement Process, which will be used until a process that is compliant with new federal rules is put in place. The interim process is significantly simpler than our old process, and has three components:

1. Product Information Form. This form is submitted by the department making the purchase. You will be sent a link to an online form to submit, but you can start collecting information ahead of time by consulting the Product Information Form (Word Version).
2. Department Procurement Accessibility Acknowledgment. This form is submitted by the department making the purchase. You can review the text of the department acknowledgement statement (UO access only) ahead of time.
3. Accessibility Information for Third-Party Products and Services Form. This form is submitted by the vendor. You may be asked to tell the vendor to submit it. Vendors can find information about what the form includes on the Information for Vendors page.

The interim process does not include EEAAPs or high-level reviews of vendor products. Products that do not include any web, mobile, or kiosk components do not currently require review.

We recommend submitting a Request for Digital Accessibility Procurement Review or contacting the DAA before a contract needs to be signed or renewed - vendors sometimes take weeks to respond with the needed information.

If you're submitting a procurement through Purchasing and Contracting Services (PCS), PCS will notify the Digital Accessibility Architect after you submit it. While this can serve as the start of the accessibility review process, it's recommended that you reach out to the DAA ahead of time, so that there are no unexpected delays when you're trying to finalize the procurement
