NIGP 91761: Lease Purchase, Farm Equipment

NIGP 91761 Lease Purchase, Farm Equipment is an Item code under which state and local governments lease or purchase agricultural land and equipment for operational use. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses both long-term land leases for farming operations and procurement of expertise related to agricultural and farm-adjacent workforce development. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code span municipal governments and public educational institutions, with examples including the City of Lubbock and Valencia College.

The City of Lubbock posted an Invitation to Bid (ITB2619406SR) in February 2026 seeking a cash farm lease for approximately 40 acres of tillable land near its South Water Treatment Plant Site in Lubbock County, Texas, with bids due March 17, 2026, and lease terms including up to four one-year extensions at two percent annual rent increases. Valencia College, in Florida, issued a Quote Request (QR202606) in April 2026 for subject matter expertise in semiconductor and agricultural-adjacent workforce education, due August 7, 2025, reflecting the intersection of farm equipment procurement and educational program development. The City of Lubbock's solicitation permits local preference consideration under Texas Local Government Code 271.9051, allowing award to a local bidder within five percent of the lowest bid if the governing body determines the local bidder offers superior long-term economic development value. Recent activity under the code appears limited, with procurement concentrated in Texas and Florida.
