The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing a combined synopsis/solicitation (RFQ 76F40126Q132810) for commercial ICT supplies and services. Offerors must demonstrate that each item conforms to the applicable Section 508 accessibility standards by completing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) Version 2.0‑based Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR). The ACR must detail any non‑conforming features, describe remediation actions, and explain the evaluation methods that will be used to verify compliance with the Revised 508 Standards. Technical proposals must include sufficient descriptive material, literature, brochures, and other documentation to allow the Government to conclusively determine technical acceptability; all submissions must be free of macro‑enabled functionality. Prices for the base requirement and any options must be itemized, and the total option price will be added to the base price for award evaluation. Offerors (except small businesses) are required to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan, even if no subcontracting opportunities exist, and the plan must be approved by the Contracting Officer before award. The solicitation incorporates FAR and HHSAR provisions by reference, and all offers must be for U.S.-made or designated‑country end products unless the Contracting Officer determines otherwise. Non‑compliance with any of these requirements—including failure to provide an acceptable subcontracting plan or a macro‑enabled document—will render the offer ineligible. For questions, contact Howard Nesmith (howard.nesmith@fda.hhs.gov).
