Not sure really what you are looking for as a utility sink...
What makes a sink ADA compliant includes mounting height, clear floor space to approach the sink and reach ranges to be able to access the whole bowl. The main difference between a compliant sink and a non-complaint sink is that the ADA sinks usually do not exceed 5-1/2" deep.
Now, there are many companies that provide shallow ADA complaint sinks in stainless or porcelain/vitreous china, but I am not familiar with a utility sink that meets those requirements. Maybe the solution could be a floor-mounted mop sink.

Faucets are usually also different. They typically have larger easy to use handles, and a large swan neck.

I was thinking on the way home that I missed that point. Faucet handles must be paddle/lever type and not require grasping. Thanks, neophyte.
And Thanks, Chaznsc for the link.
