Issuing bodies include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Department of Corrections, Texas Facilities Commission), county governments (Harris County), municipalities (City of Owensboro), independent school districts (Klein ISD, Los Fresnos C.I.S.D.), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and university health systems (University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio). School districts and county/municipal governments dominate the recent activity.
