Common use of Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility and Security Standards Clause in Contracts

Electronic and Information Resources Accessibility and Security Standards. This section applies if the Contract requires the Contractor to procure or develop Electronic and Information Resources (EIR) for DSHS or to change any of DSHS’ EIR. This section also applies if the Contract requires the Contractor to perform a service or supply goods that include EIR that: DSHS employees are required to use or permitted access to; or Members of the public are required to use or permitted access to. This section does not apply to incidental uses of EIR in the performance of a contract, unless the parties agree that the EIR shall become property of the state or shall be used by DSHS clients after completion of the Contract. Nothing in this section is intended to prescribe the use of particular designs or technologies or to prevent the use of alternative technologies, provided they result in substantially equivalent or greater access to and use of a product/service.
