Subject Matter Expertise for Semiconductor Cleanroom Operator College Credit Certificate, Laser & Photonics Credit Certificate and the A.S. degree in Semiconductor Engineering Technology.

Valencia College is requesting subject matter expertise to review and provide feedback on curricula developed for a college credit certificate in semiconductor cleanroom operations, a Laser & Photonics Credit Certificate, and the Associate in Science (A.S.) degree in Semiconductor Engineering Technology. The work of the contract involves evaluating the curriculum to ensure it effectively trains entry-level technicians for cleanroom environments within the semiconductor industry or related microelectronics fields. Additionally, the curriculum is intended to help attract and retain students in STEM-related disciplines. All deliverables must be tailored to the specific equipment available in Valencia College's robotics and semiconductor labs and cleanrooms. This solicitation is issued by Valencia College ("College"), which seeks quotations from qualified firms or individuals for this project. The background of this contract centers on Valencia College's initiative to develop and refine educational programs that prepare students for technical careers in the semiconductor and microelectronics sectors. The reviewed curricula will directly support workforce development and student engagement in these high-demand fields. Contract requirements specify that the selected firm or individual must base all feedback and recommendations on the equipment and resources present in Valencia College's facilities. The contract period will run from September 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025, with the possibility of extension if both parties agree. Interested parties are invited to submit quotations referencing Opportunity ID: QR 2026-06. Submissions should clearly demonstrate relevant qualifications and experience in curriculum review for semiconductor, photonics, or related technical programs, and must address the ability to tailor recommendations to the College's specific laboratory equipment and cleanroom facilities.
