BidShield ADA generates the dated, exportable accessibility documentation small SLED contractors hand to procurement officers and counsel — without a $10,000 audit or a useless overlay widget.
We do not promise WCAG compliance — no automated tool can. We produce the repeatable, defensible record that procurement and counsel ask for.
Why small contractors fail Title II compliance checks.
"Magic" scripts don't fix PDF blueprints or engineering diagrams. They leave you exposed to liability and RFP rejection.
Risk: HighEnterprise audits cost $5k-$15k per domain. Overkill for a small contractor microsite or proposal portal.
Cost: ProhibitiveA hybrid approach. AI automation for technical artifacts + structured self-defense logs for legal cover.
Result: Defensible RecordOur scanner runs axe-core against your page's rendered HTML and produces a dated, exportable issues list with severity, WCAG criterion, and location for each finding.
Generate the Audit Defense Log — a structured spreadsheet documenting your good-faith remediation effort under Title II.
Scan, findings, audit defense log, dated export — recorded from the product itself running on a fictional sample contractor. Captioned; nothing here is a mockup.
Every scan produces a dated, multi-page artifact: a cover with the coverage score, an itemized findings table tied to WCAG criteria, and a methodology disclosure that names the engine, tags evaluated, and disabled rules.

The choice isn't between "cheap overlay" and "expensive audit." It's between defensible documentation and everything else.

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.
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, TX, IL, NY, MN, WA) requires accessibility documentation regardless of federal timing.
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.
The export is designed to satisfy the documentation request line in most SLED RFPs (VA, IL, NY, MN, WA procurement language asks for an accessibility statement plus evidence of testing). It does not replace a VPAT/ACR for federal contracts that require one — for those, hand the export to your accessibility consultant as a starting artifact.
Overlays (accessiBe, AudioEye) modify your site at runtime and produce no defensible documentation — they have been named in active ADA suits. Manual audit firms (Deque, Level Access) produce thorough VPATs at $5k–$15k+ per domain. BidShield ADA sits between them: a one-time $299 artifact that documents what you tested, when, and with what engine — the record procurement asks for, without the audit-firm price tag.
Yes. Rescans are unlimited inside the Defense Bundle. Each scan is independently dated and exportable, so you build a remediation timeline rather than overwriting prior evidence.
The active scanner targets public URLs. For authenticated pages, paste the rendered HTML into the Passive Workbench or document the page manually in the Audit Defense Log — both flows produce the same export format.
