I have a short list of vendors that provide Section 508 studies and audits but would be interested in hearing of other companies a well that do similar work (as well as remediation), for the whole range of EIT - documents, of course, but also software, telecommunications, and the like.

We perform WCAG 2.0 evaluations and would be delighted to be on your list. I
can't think of any other lists that have such a narrow restriction, although
I am sure there must be many such companies on this email list.

Hi everyone,
Please would you include our organisation?
Digital Accessibility Centre in Wales, UK provides accessibility testing
services, including audit and accreditation to many large and small
organisations in the UK and internationally.
www.digitalaccessibilitycentre.org We are a Social Enterprise and operate on
a not for profit basis.
As some of you already know, in addition to using automated tools and
technical auditing, we employ our own testing team. All of our team members
have a disability and we test for ease of access for those who have no
vision, low vision, limited limb mobility, colour blindness, dyslexia,
learning disabilities, Deaf and Asperger's.
Testing is carried out in line with WCAG 2.0 AA criteria, but also includes
reporting on usability for disability which is not entirely covered by WCAG.
Many thanks and good luck with the list!
With kindest regards
Cam

I've gone through my contacts, which I don't claim to be comprehensive and certainly not 'approved by any Federal agency' - just a useful list I've collected and tried to organize of vendors who provide Section 508-related remediation and consultation.

Some I've very familiar with; others were suggested to me. In alphabetical order, they are:
