The Gap Between $49 Widgets and $10,000 Audits

Why small contractors fail Title II compliance checks.

⚠️

Automated Overlays

"Magic" scripts don't fix PDF blueprints or engineering diagrams. They leave you exposed to liability and RFP rejection.

Risk: High
💸

Manual Audit Firms

Enterprise audits cost $5k-$15k per domain. Overkill for a small contractor microsite or proposal portal.

Cost: Prohibitive

Procurement-Defense F.A.Q.

Does this guarantee compliance?

No automated tool can. BidShield ADA produces the dated, exportable structural-scan documentation and audit-defense log that procurement officers and counsel can use as one input to a broader accessibility evaluation. Manual review by qualified accessibility professionals is still required to make a WCAG 2.1 AA conformance claim.

What is the current Title II compliance timeline?

After the DOJ's April 20, 2026 Interim Final Rule, the WCAG 2.1 AA technical-standard deadline for public entities ≥50,000 population is April 26, 2027, and April 26, 2028 for smaller entities and special districts. The underlying ADA obligation has not changed — only the dates for the specific WCAG 2.1 AA technical standard. State and local procurement language (VA, IL, NY, MN, OR, WA) requires accessibility documentation regardless of federal timing.

What does the structural scan actually cover?

It runs axe-core in a server-side DOM (jsdom) against WCAG 2.1 A and AA tags. Visual rules that need a real browser — color contrast, target size, CSS orientation lock — are excluded. Automated testing typically surfaces about 57% of WCAG issues; the rest requires manual review. Every export lists the engine version and the disabled rules by name.
