Oregon ODHS is seeking a JAWS license and associated support to test accessibility in its Oregon ONE Eligibility System. - Government buyer: Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), Oregon Eligibility Partnership (OEP), Salem, Oregon; contact identified as Jessica Radel. - OEM: Freedom Scientific, Inc., the manufacturer and developer of JAWS (Job Access With Speech). The procurement is justified as sole source because JAWS-specific licensing, updates, and manufacturer support are proprietary and available through Freedom Scientific or its authorized distribution channel. - Products and services requested: - One JAWS Enterprise perpetual software license for Windows screen-reader accessibility testing; no part number is specified. - Associated JAWS manufacturer maintenance or subscription rights for supported updates, upgrades, compatibility improvements, and support; quantity and term are not specified. - Key requirements: Test the Oregon ONE Eligibility System’s compatibility with JAWS, including speech and Braille output and use with Windows and common browsers such as Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox. Other screen readers cannot validate JAWS-specific behavior. The agency seeks software-use and maintenance rights, not ownership of the software or source code. - Estimated value: $28,024.73.
