NIGP 97225: Lecturers, Higher Education

NIGP 97225 Lecturers, Higher Education is an Item code under which state and local governments procure temporary or adjunct academic instruction at the post-secondary level. Recent state and local opportunities under this code reflect demand for contracted lecture services, guest instruction, and short-term teaching assignments across public university systems, community colleges, and specialized higher-education institutions. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include state higher-education agencies, individual public universities, and community college districts seeking to fill gaps in faculty capacity, cover specialized subject matter, or backfill during sabbaticals and leaves of absence. The work typically involves developing course content, delivering instruction to students across multiple disciplines, assessment and grading, and occasional curriculum consultation — often structured as semester-based or academic-year contracts with defined enrollment and credit-hour commitments.

No recent state and local contract opportunities for this Item code appear in the available record. The absence of posted solicitations under NIGP 97225 may reflect the procurement pattern for higher-education lectureship — many institutions meet this need through direct hiring, internal job posting, or non-competitive processes that do not generate formal RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB notices. Firms pursuing work in this category should monitor individual university procurement offices and state higher-education purchasing cooperatives, as solicitations may be posted through channels other than centralized state or county procurement databases.
