• If you sell covered technology to a Washington state agency, meet the accessibility requirements its procurement and contract carry, at a minimum Level AA of WCAG 2.2 since July 1, 2026, and support the agency's validation with human user testing and a third-party accessibility validation report, a Vendor Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) or compliance review documentation against the applicable WCAG level (USER-01-01-S secs. 3, 4(a) and 4(b)).
• Give the agency a remediation plan for the accessibility issues found, with a timeline the agency evaluates and contract clauses that enforce it (USER-01-01-S sec. 4(c)(i) and (ii)).
• Where you have no remediation plan and no other accessible solution meets the agency's needs, the agency reserves the right to reduce or terminate the contract if you show a lack of accountability for timely response, remediation and accessibility improvements in new releases and updates, or misrepresent your product's current accessibility, and it weighs your accessibility track record, contract violations included, in renewals and new procurements (USER-01-01-S sec. 4(c)(iii)).
• This reaches a vendor that sells covered technology, IT project systems, applications or IT services to a Washington state agency, through the accessibility requirements, validation and remediation terms the agency's procurement and contracting must include (USER-01-01-S sec. 4).
