NIGP 91762: Lease Purchase, Furnishings & Equipment

NIGP 91762 Lease Purchase, Furnishings & Equipment is an Item code covering lease and lease-purchase transactions for real property, facilities infrastructure, and specialized equipment that state and local governments require on a temporary or long-term basis rather than outright purchase. Recent solicitations show activity spanning educational facility improvements, wireless infrastructure deployment on public property, and related capital-intensive installations where jurisdictions prefer operational leasing structures to manage cash flow and maintenance responsibility allocation.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts and county public education systems. Valencia College (a Florida public college) solicited curriculum development consulting services in October 2026 via a Quote Request with an August 7, 2025 due date, targeting subject matter experts to review and provide feedback on semiconductor cleanroom and photonics certificate programs funded through a Florida Department of Education Workforce Development Capitalization Incentive Grant. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida issued an RFP in September 2026 for district-wide cell tower leasing—design, permitting, construction, installation, operation, and maintenance of wireless communication facilities on school-owned land, rooftops, and vertical structures—with proposals due September 23, 2026. The Hillsborough solicitation includes a mandatory 20% Small Business Encouragement Program participation requirement for certified small businesses in the Tampa Bay area, and all proposers must execute a foreign ownership affidavit under Florida Statutes Section 287.138. Both recent opportunities are concentrated in Florida.
