Description

Would be useful to know more about both how VPATs are typically generated and how they are consumed.

I assume it is basically like

## Client
- A contracting officer receives the VPAT
- Sends it to both the 508 SME
- Accessibility review done of the VPAT, then returned to the contracting officer with a pass/fail

## Vendor
- Receives a RFP that requires a VPAT
- Either develops a VPAT internally with the accessibility team or contracts out responsibility
- Stores that document for future use by sales
- Contract submitted with the VPAT

Understanding the process better may help to improve it.
