Equipment
Financing Program - LEAF & MIPA
The Office of
State Purchasing has established two acquisition finance programs.
The Louisiana Equipment Acquisition Fund (LEAF) program is a
self administered internal finance program. The Master Installment
Purchase Agreement (MIPA) is a third party, vendor finance program.
The equipment which may be financed through these programs includes
those items which historically have been rented or leased and
those equipment items historically placed in the bond portion
of the Capital Outlay Bill.
The eligible program participants
are all budgeted state agencies contained within the General
Appropriation and Ancillary Appropriations Acts. Agencies should
contact State Purchasing to determine eligibility for either
program.
