Accessibility Statement:

SciTech is committed to meeting the accessibility requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This includes features of our ADA compliant headquarters office facility in Havre de Grace, MD, providing reasonable accommodation for employees with disabilities per Section 501 of the Rehabilitation Act, and maintaining compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 compliance ensures SciTech’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is accessible to people with disabilities, requiring comparable access to information and data for our employees, our customers, and the public.

SciTech Services Inc. primarily provides services to various military and civilian Government organizations. SciTech’s accessibility policy ensures that we continue to make accessibility to all aspects of our business facilities and processes a priority. This includes a comprehensive plan to maintain Section 508 compliance. We developed a plan that allowed us to feel confident that we are currently in compliance while also providing for updating and monitoring our IT infrastructure and digital business communications to maintain currency.

It is SciTech’s policy and commitment to meet the accessibility requirements of and maintain compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. The specific details of our 508 compliances are provided below. These details include the conformance of our corporate website to 508 compliance requirements, the compliance of the ICT Hardware and ICT Software SciTech issues to our employees, the compliance of the documents our employees create using our ICT software and distribute to our customers, and the accessibility training our employees take. Finally, if required on our Federal contracts, SciTech flows down the 508 compliance requirements to our subcontractors and vendors.
