Valencia College, a Florida community college, posted a Quote Request (QR 2026-06) on October 19, 2026, seeking subject matter expertise to review and provide feedback on three semiconductor and photonics education programs: a college credit certificate in semiconductor cleanroom operations, a laser and photonics credit certificate, and an Associate of Science degree in Semiconductor Engineering Technology. The procurement requires vendors with a mandatory minimum of three years of experience in workforce education strategies and semiconductor or microelectronics education. Deliverables include assessing program objectives, reviewing curricula against Valencia's existing ROOTS semiconductor equipment and cleanrooms, evaluating hands-on learning modules, conducting student testing, and recommending industry resources and certifications. The response deadline was August 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM through the VendorLink portal, with the contract period running September 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, and potential extension by mutual agreement. The project is funded through a Florida Department of Education Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant and involves Valencia's participation in a National Science Foundation Semiconductor Engines grant.
