    I use my e-mail inbox as a to-do list. When I finish an item, I delete it or file it away. If I just had instant messages, I think it would be harder to keep track of everything.

    Hi. I just added a blog post announcing a new guidance document from the GSA Section 508 office on conducting accessibility market research. We frequently receive questions about how to find accessibility information on products on services, so we hope this guidance document will be useful. https://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/new-guidance-document-on

    Melinda Davey started the topic Why is it important for requiring officials to specify accessibility requirements and not contracting officials? in the forum Acquisition2.0 9 years, 11 months ago

Contracting officials do not typically have the technical expertise needed to…[Read more]
