Accessible Digital Procurement

Computer Lab

Portland State University (PSU) is committed to ensuring that all Public-Facing Digital Resources purchased or acquired by the University are Accessible in accordance with PSU’s Digital Accessibility Policy and Standard for Accessible Digital Procurement.

Digital Accessibility Expectations Setting Templates have been crafted for use in:

  1. Informal, unbinding written exchanges in which digital accessibility may be introduced as a topic,
  2. Requests for Proposals (RFP) or Quotes (RFQ) regarding technology under consideration for procurement, and
  3. Purchasing contracts for technology procurements.

These templates will help to establish the expectation with vendors that digital accessibility is a requirement at PSU. While informal expectation setting can be helpful, establishing expectations within formal, written contracts is recommended whenever feasible.
