Accessibility Policy
​
General Services Administration (GSA) is committed to providing access to all individuals—with or without disabilities—seeking information on this website. We’ve built this website to conform to the Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (as amended), which requires that all individuals with disabilities (whether federal employees or members of the general public) have access to, and use of, information and data comparable to that provided to individuals without disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us.

Evaluation criteria
​
-
We evaluate all links to external websites using the following criteria:
-
Is the website’s content relevant, useful and authoritative?
-
Does the website’s information appear to be accurate and current?
-
Does the website complement existing information, products and services?
-
Is the website accessible and applicable to a complementary audience?
-
Is the website’s approach to the privacy of personal information consistent with the government’s privacy and security policies?
-
Is the primary intent of the website to educate and inform, rather than persuade, convert, or sell? The site may include advertising but must be free from heavy marketing or promotion of products.
-
Is the website an official government-owned or supported website? If not, does the website provide government information and/or services in a way that is not available on an official government website?
-
Does the website provide information free of charge?

Links to other government websites
​
This website links to publicly available websites that are government-owned or government sponsored, including domains ending in .gov, .mil and .us. We may also link to quasi-government agencies and websites created by public/private partnerships; state and local government sites (e.g., www.maryland.gov); and government-sponsored websites that end in .com, .org, or .net (e.g., www.usps.com for the U.S. Postal Service).
​
Because the websites of other federal government agencies must follow the same policies as GSA, links to these sites (including sites managed by the U.S. military) are made without notification or disclaimer.
​
Links to non-government websites
​
This website may link to non-government websites, if they provide relevant information that’s not available on an official government website. We provide these links as a public service only; the U.S. government, including GSA (as the sponsoring federal agency of Section508.gov), neither endorses nor guarantees in any way the external organizations, services, advice, or products included in these website links. Furthermore, the U.S. government neither controls nor guarantees the accuracy, relevance, timeliness or completeness of the information contained in non-government website links.
​
Disclaimer of endorsement
