School districts are the primary issuing bodies, with independent school districts and county public school systems posting RFPs for annual and multi-year contracts that bundle print materials (elementary and secondary trade books, pre-binds, paperbacks), non-print items (audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, educational kits), and digital products (eBooks with platform features for children and young adult audiences) alongside value-added services including US MARC cataloging records, security strips, bar coding with Code-39 symbology, inside delivery, unboxing and shelving, and collection development tools.
