There was a recent thread here started by someone asking a similar
question.
https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2024-January/083120.html
You should probably start by going through all of that thread, but
the bottom line is that:
* R is in fact very accessible to people with a wide range of challenges
* unfortunately you are very unlikely to be able to get such a report,
unless someone volunteers to do one, as R is a volunteer-run project
(and the developers are generally more interested in maintaining and
improving the software than satisfying bureaucrats)
A google search
https://www.google.com/search?q=R+CRAN+VPAT
suggests that VPATs are available for various third-party
extensions/packaging of R (Oracle R, RStudio desktop).
This article is old, but if someone in your IT department read it,
hopefully they would agree to download the software:

To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Zach Benner and I am the Accessibility (A.D.A.-Americans with
Disabilities Act) Coordinator here at University of Maine at Machias. I am
reaching out on the behalf of our science professors here at UMM. The
professor is looking to utilize your software to implement within his
courses however, due to possible accessibility concerns our IT department
will not download the software onto school computers unless we have a copy
of a VPAT or Accessibility Conformance Information Report. I was wondering
if I could obtain this information to provide to the IT department?
Thank you for your time on this matter and I look forward to hearing from
you soon. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Zach Benner
