Just a follow up to the question of text to be added about how to
apply the functional performance criteria. The follow is the text
that Laura noted.

Text from the current Q&A document for Section 508 (http://
section508.gov/index.cfm?FuseAction=Content&ID=75) item B.2.ii:
Agencies should first look to the provisions in Subpart B to
determine if there are specific technical provisions that apply to
the EIT need they are seeking to satisfy.
If there are applicable provisions in Subpart B that fully address
the product or service being procured, then the agency need not look
to Subpart C. Acquired products that meet the specific technical
provisions set forth in Subpart B will also meet the broader
functional performance criteria in Subpart C.
If an agency’s procurement needs are not fully addressed by Subpart
B, then the agency must look to Subpart C for applicable functional
performance requirements.
