State and local agencies can now access Nelnet’s accessibility assessment, remediation, and compliance services through a cooperative contract that requires no new request for proposal (RFP) ahead of approaching Department of Justice (DOJ) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Title II compliance deadlines.

LINCOLN, Neb., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Nelnet Government Services today announced that its cooperative purchasing contract, awarded through the Alliance for Innovation (AFI), is now accessible through Civic Marketplace. By listing on Civic Marketplace, Nelnet gives local governments, public schools, and other public agencies nationwide a streamlined way to discover and procure its ADA Web Accessibility Consulting and ADA Web Accessibility Consulting and Design services.

As an awarded supplier through the AFI cooperative program, Nelnet’s services have already been competitively solicited and awarded in accordance with public procurement requirements. Through Civic Marketplace, eligible public agencies can access Nelnet’s services and pre-negotiated cooperative pricing without conducting a separate RFP, providing a faster path from accessibility need to implementation.

What Agencies Can Access

Accessibility Assessments: Expert-led audits of websites, applications, and documents that surface Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 barriers and produce a clear compliance roadmap.Remediation Services: Hands-on repair of websites, mobile apps, documents, and video so digital content works for people using assistive technology.Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) and Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) Reporting, Training & Ongoing Support: Standards-based compliance documentation, staff training, and Accessibility Team as a Service (ATaaS) for continuous governance as content changes.

“Every resident deserves digital services that work for them, and every agency deserves a partner who can help them get there without adding a lengthy procurement process,” said Marc Thorson, Lead Accessibility Architect at Nelnet. “Making our accessibility team available through Civic Marketplace means agencies can start real compliance work now, well ahead of the deadlines bearing down on them.”

Why This Matters

Under the Department of Justice’s ADA Title II rule, state and local government websites, apps, and digital content must meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards. The DOJ recently extended the compliance deadlines, giving larger public entities until April 26, 2027, and smaller public entities and special districts until April 26, 2028. But auditing, remediating, and retraining staff across years of legacy content takes longer than many agencies expect, and the deadline marks when compliance is required, not when the work should start.

Most agencies don’t need a seven-figure platform overhaul to get there. Many compliance gaps close for a fraction of that cost through focused assessment and remediation work, without the year a standalone RFP process usually consumes.

“Digital accessibility is a growing operational priority for local governments, and many agencies need specialized expertise to address it effectively,” said Michael Wilkes, President and CEO of the Alliance for Innovation. “Bringing Nelnet into our cooperative portfolio gives public agencies access to proven capabilities in an area that is becoming increasingly important to how governments operate and serve their communities.”

Nelnet has already put that model to work in state and local government: its accessibility team embedded with Colorado’s Office of Information Technology to bring the myColorado app, used by more than 1 million residents for driver’s licenses, DMV services, and benefit application, into WCAG 2.1 AA compliance.

Access This Contract Now on Civic Marketplace

Nelnet’s digital accessibility services are available now through Civic Marketplace. To explore the contract and begin procurement, view the Nelnet contract listing on Civic Marketplace, or contact Nelnet at AccessibilityWorkRequest@nelnet.net.
