NIGP 91761: Lease Purchase, Farm Equipment

NIGP 91761 Lease Purchase, Farm Equipment is an Item code that appears misaligned with current state and local procurement activity under it. The recent opportunity sourced shows Valencia College, a Florida higher-education institution, soliciting subject-matter expertise for curriculum development in semiconductor and photonics education — a service falling outside the traditional farm-equipment lease-purchase scope the code's title suggests. Valencia College issued a Quote Request (QR 2026-06) seeking qualified firms or individuals with a mandatory minimum of three years of experience in workforce education strategies and semiconductor or microelectronics education to review and provide feedback on three educational 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. Deliverables include assessing program objectives, reviewing curricula against Valencia's ROOTS semiconductor equipment and cleanrooms, evaluating hands-on learning modules, conducting student testing, and recommending industry resources and certifications. The contract period runs from September 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, with potential for extension by mutual agreement.

The source provides no evidence of broader geographic spread or issuing-body mix across multiple jurisdictions under this code. Valencia College's single Quote Request, due August 7, 2025, at 2:00 PM through the VendorLink portal, represents the only recent state-local opportunity documented. The procurement requires hourly pricing for services, materials, supplies, travel, equipment, and labor, with quotes binding for forty-five calendar days and payment issued within thirty days of service acceptance. Federal contract provisions apply, including equal employment opportunity and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment requirements for awards exceeding $100,000. The project is funded through a Florida Department of Education Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant and a National Science Foundation Semiconductor Engines grant, targeting the development of entry-level technician training programs for the semiconductor and microelectronics industries.
