ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and businesses that are open to the public. As it relates to the procurement process, ADA requires businesses to ensure their goods and services are accessible to people with disabilities. This includes making sure products and services are designed and developed in ways that are accessible directly or through assistive technology. Proper implementation of ADA rules allows disabled people to gain equal access and participation in society.
