You may be interested in the following link, http://buyaccessible.net/VARC/, which an alphabetic list of company websites with links to their product or service accessibility information. The Buy Accessible Wizard is a good source for initial research. The BAW doesn't house the VPATs but ultimately leads the user to the vendor's website with the VPAT itself. Whether you refer to the vendor's site or you collect and hold the VPAT/documentation, a key point to remember is to always make sure that the VPAT/documentation reflects the latest release or version if that's what you're looking to buy. Ensure that the vendor is providing you with current information which reflects the actual product and release/version and is not outdated.
