State and local buyers under this code include school districts, public library systems, university bookstores and auxiliary enterprises, and special-purpose districts operating museum or cultural facilities with retail components.

Activity under this Item code does not currently register in the tracked procurement pipeline, which may reflect either low procurement volume or long intervals between resale inventory acquisitions by public entities.
