16\. Section 508 Compliance with Electronic and Information Technology
(EIT)

Accessibility Standards (36 CFR 1194)

The supply and/or service required:

Meets the applicable accessibility standards.

Is a commercial supply or service and market research has determined
that some or all of the applicable Access Board standards cannot be met
by supplies or services available in the commercial marketplace in time
to satisfy agency delivery requirements. (See attached EIT Commercial
Non-Availability Determination)

Is exempt from compliance with applicable accessibility standards based
on the following exception:

> The item is for a national security system;
>
> The item will be located in spaces frequented only by service
> personnel for
>
> maintenance, repair or occasional monitoring of equipment; or
>
> Would impose an undue burden on the agency. (See attached Undue Burden
>
> Determination)

## EIT Commercial Item Non-Availability Determination

*To be completed by the Requiring Official*

1.  Detail, for each commercial EIT item required, which applicable
    Access Board standards are not available in the commercial
    marketplace.

2.  Describe the market research performed to substantiate item 1 above.
    What sources did you use to investigate the availability of
    compliant commercial items? (e.g. other federal agencies; contacts
    with industry trade associations; Internet market research;
    Request-for-Information (RFI) in Federal Business Opportunities
    (FedBizOpps))

I have determined that the applicable Access Board standards identified
in paragraph 1 above cannot be met with a supply or services available
in the commercial marketplace in time to satisfy agency delivery
requirements.

### EIT Undue Burden Exception Determination

*To be completed by the Requiring Official*

> \[For each applicable Access Board standard that the agency finds to
> be an undue burden, the requiring official must explain why, and to
> what extent, compliance with the standard creates an undue burden. For
> commercial items, this determination document is not required to
> address standards that are not yet available in the commercial
> marketplace in time to meet the Agency\'s delivery requirement.\]

1.  Describe the products or services required to meet the agency's
    needs:

2.  Dollar value of the acquisition, including any options:

3.  List the standards for which compliance is an undue burden:

4.  Describe the market research performed to locate commercial items
    that meet the applicable standards.

5.  What is the undue burden (i.e., the significant difficulty or
    expense the Government would incur in order to comply with a
    particular standard) taking into consideration the resources
    available to the program for which the supply or service is being
    acquired. If the monetary expense is deemed prohibitive, explain the
    costs and how they were estimated.

6.  Describe the alternate means of access that will be provided that
    will allow individuals with disabilities to use the information or
    data (29 U.S.C. 794d(a)(1)(B).

In accordance with FAR 39.204, I have determined that procurement of EIT
product(s) that meet the Access Board standards identified in paragraph
3 above is an \"undue burden.\"
