FAR Subpart 39.2, Electronic and Information Technology, requires Federal agencies to ensure that, when acquiring EIT, Federal employees with disabilities and members of the public with disabilities have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to individuals without disabilities. This EIT access requirement does not apply to a contractor's internal workplaces. EIT that is neither used nor accessed by Federal employees or members of the public is not subject to the Access Board accessibility standards. Contractors in their professional capacity are not members of the public for purposes of Section 508.
