NIGP 91751: Data Processing Rental Service, Not CIS

NIGP 91751 Data Processing Rental Service, Not CIS is an Item code under which state and local governments procure specialized technical and subject-matter expertise services, typically on a project or consulting basis rather than as ongoing rental of computing resources or infrastructure. The scope of work encompasses consulting engagements where jurisdictions and public institutions—particularly colleges and educational agencies—contract with qualified firms or individuals to deliver curriculum development, program assessment, workforce training strategy, and related knowledge-transfer services grounded in emerging technology sectors. Valencia College posted a Quote Request (QR202606) 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 college required vendors to demonstrate a mandatory minimum of three years of experience in workforce education strategies and semiconductor or microelectronics education, with deliverables including curriculum assessment, hands-on learning module evaluation, student testing, and industry resource and certification recommendations.

The activity documented here centers on a single Florida public college issuing a quote request for consulting services funded through the Florida Department of Education Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant and supported by a National Science Foundation Semiconductor Engines grant. Valencia College set an August 7, 2025 response deadline, with the contract period running from September 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, and potential for mutual extension. The procurement required hourly pricing for all services, materials, supplies, travel, equipment, and labor, with payment issued within thirty days of invoice and service acceptance. Federal compliance provisions applied, including equal employment opportunity, debarment and suspension, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment requirements for awards exceeding $100,000. The college reserved the right to award to one or multiple firms based on the lowest responsive and responsible offer.
