NIGP 91756: Lease Purchase, Buildings

NIGP 91756 Lease Purchase, Buildings is an Item code capturing state and local government procurement of facility leases, land leases, and real estate transactions. Recent solicitations show government entities acquiring space through long-term operational leases, securing backup facilities for mission-critical operations, selling surplus property, and procuring student housing on a lease basis. Issuing bodies span state universities, county governments, city administrations, public safety consortia, school districts, and community colleges. The County of Sacramento is seeking a qualified entity to design, construct, operate, and maintain a hydrogen refueling station on two acres of county-owned property under a potential 15-year land lease; METCOM 911, a public safety answering point consortium in Oregon, has issued a sole-source notice for backup facility space to ensure continuity of emergency communications operations; Temple Independent School District is selling the Cater Elementary School Campus through sealed bid; and Texas Southern University in Houston is seeking proposals for 400 to 600 student housing beds within five miles of campus under an initial two-year lease with annual renewal options. Valencia College issued a quote request for subject matter expertise in semiconductor curriculum development, and the City of Tucson released a request for information soliciting visionary redevelopment concepts for downtown property including the Joel D. Valdez Main Library and associated parking and plaza.
