Procurement language for web accessibility

Hi everyone -

I'm looking for suggestions for procurement language for web
accessibility and software products. Specifically, I'm looking for
language to put in a RFP (Request for Proposal) any outside website
development or software product which will have a web interface.

I remember reading in several places (but I can't remember where now)
that the language in an RFP should include that the product be
accessible and that a certain level of compliance should be specified
(such as 508 compliance).

I would appreciate any sample wording, links to examples, or other
thoughts or ideas.

Thanks.

Wendy
