Government Applicant Bias Coverage Lab v0.1 draft. Profile of the Evidence Bundle spec scoped to pre-deployment + ongoing-monitoring bias / equity-coverage evidence for AI tools used by federal / state / local government agencies in benefit determination, federal contracting, regulatory permitting, social-services eligibility, and federal/state agency personnel management. Anchored to OMB M-24-10 §5(d) rights-impacting AI impact-assessment requirements + Section 1557 (federal financial assistance) + Title VI + Title IX + ADA Title II (state + local government accessibility) + OFCCP-equivalent obligations for federal contractors + state civil-rights statutes.

OMB M-24-10 §5(d) requires federal agencies to conduct impact assessments + ongoing monitoring on rights-impacting AI systems. Title VI of the Civil Rights Act extends to all programs receiving federal financial assistance (so federal-benefit AI tools AND federal-contract AI tools are both in scope). ADA Title II adds accessibility obligations for state and local government AI use. Title VI implementing regulations (28 CFR §42.405(d)) add Limited English Proficiency (LEP) obligations — a uniquely-government bias dimension that doesn't appear in private-sector verticals.
A federal agency, state agency, or local jurisdiction running AI decision-support needs a single bias-coverage bundle that addresses all of those obligations at once. This profile defines it.

Accommodation-requesters or LEP-disclosed subjects' selection rate materially below comparator — ADA Title II / Title VI LEP pathway not working |
agency-civil-rights-finding-pending |
Finding from agency civil rights office (ED OCR, HHS OCR, DOJ Civil Rights Section, agency EEO office) pending |
The accessibility-pathway-impairment status is GovTech-unique in scope: it captures ADA Title II + Title VI LEP pathway failures independent of disparate-impact analysis. agency-civil-rights-finding-pending is a federal-agency-specific status (no equivalent in private-sector verticals) because federal agencies have their OWN internal civil-rights offices in addition to external regulator pathways.
OMB SPD 15 revised race+ethnicity · sex at birth · ADA disability status · VEVRAA veteran status · ADEA age band · Title VI Limited English Proficiency (LEP) — the LEP dimension is GovTech-unique and crucial for federal benefit programs where language access materially affects outcome.
examples/prfsa-govdecide-2026q4/ — PRFSA 2026 Q4 OMB M-24-10 §5(d) impact-assessment bundle for VendorG GovDecide v3.x. Worked decision document is for the four-fifths-violation event: AIAN + LEP + rural applicants showed a 0.58 selection-rate ratio vs WHITE non-Hispanic non-LEP non-rural comparator. Triggered agency civil rights office referral. Cross-references the audit-stream + OMB M-24-10 readiness bundle siblings.

GovTech-readiness scaffolding for federal / state / local government AI bias / equity coverage evidence. Supports an agency's program toward OMB M-24-10 §5(d) impact-assessment readiness, Title VI / Section 1557 / ADA Title II / OFCCP-equivalent alignment, EEOC four-fifths-rule alignment, and agency civil rights office referral readiness. Does not by itself establish compliance with any of those statutes or rules. Per the standing public-language guardrail: readiness · evidence · posture · controls · scaffolding — never "OMB-M-24-10-attested" or "Title-VI-compliant" without an external attestation.
