No ACR at proposal
The solicitation carries the FAR 508 clauses and asks for a conformance report with the technical volume. Without one, the offer is non-responsive before anyone reads the approach.
In Northern Virginia, accessibility is a bid gate.
Section 508 conformance audits, VPAT and ACR authoring, and remediation for federal agencies, primes, and the vendors who sell to them. Manual testing with assistive technology, documentation that survives a contracting officer’s review, and an office in Alexandria when the work needs a room.

Where 508 stops a deal
Three failure points account for nearly every accessibility problem we get called into inside the Beltway. None of them are design problems when they surface — they are contract problems.
A VPAT that overclaims
A vendor-authored report marked “Supports” across the board, contradicted the moment a 508 program office opens the product with a screen reader. That is a credibility loss you spend years repairing.
Deliverables rejected at CDRL
Untagged PDFs, uncaptioned training video, dashboards no keyboard can reach. The work is done, the invoice is not payable, and remediation comes out of margin.

Full capability statementTwelve minutes from King Street Metro
Our Northern Virginia studio is in Old Town Alexandria. Federal work has a way of needing a room and a whiteboard — kickoffs, remediation sprints with your engineers, 508 training for content teams, dry runs before a program review. We show up for those.
Serving Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Falls Church, Tysons, Reston, Herndon, Springfield, Woodbridge, and the District. Two more studios in Blacksburg, Virginia and St. Petersburg, Florida.

Questions we get from contracting teams
If your solicitation carries the FAR Section 508 clauses, the contracting officer needs documented evidence that your ICT deliverable conforms to the Revised 508 Standards. An Accessibility Conformance Report on the current ITI VPAT template is the accepted form of that evidence — and it is increasingly required with the proposal, not at delivery.
A single web property or product interface runs two to three weeks from kickoff to delivered findings register and ACR. Multi-application portfolios are phased, with the deliverable that unblocks your bid scheduled first.
No. Automated tooling catches a minority of WCAG failures and cannot evaluate most success criteria at all. Anything we put our name on is tested manually with assistive technology. Overlay widgets are not a conformance strategy either — they are now cited as evidence against defendants.
Yes — and federal buyers generally prefer it that way, because the party writing the report isn’t the party being assessed. We also review third-party VPATs before you resell or integrate a product.
Scope drives it: number of applications, document volume, and whether remediation is included. Our published rates apply, and we work time-and-materials or firm-fixed-price depending on your vehicle.
