The VA OIG conducted this audit to follow up on a 2024 report that concluded VA’s implementation and monitoring of Section 508 requirements could be improved and to evaluate whether the procurement process for information and communication technology meets Section 508 standards. The OIG found for a sample of 30 systems that VA officials did not ensure the information technology they procured would meet the accessibility standards required by law. The team also found that although market research was done on vendors that could meet business requirements, contracting officers and the designated officials for VA program offices did not verify the systems were accessible to individuals with disabilities. https://lnkd.in/gER286FD   #veterans #VA #OIG
