Issuing bodies span county governments (Collin County, Texas; Dorchester County, South Carolina; Harris County, Texas; Orange County, California and Florida; San Mateo County, California), municipalities (City of Arlington, Texas; City of Daytona Beach, Florida; City of St. Marys, Georgia; City of Dallas, Texas; City of Framingham, Massachusetts), state agencies (California Department of General Services, California Employment Development Department, Florida Department of Transportation, South Dakota Department of the Military), school districts (LEAD Public Schools, Nashville; Muscogee County School District, Georgia; Pinellas County School Board, Florida), special-purpose districts (Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department, North Carolina; California Correctional Training and Rehabilitation Authority), public utilities (Toho Water Authority, Florida), and health systems (San Mateo Medical Center, California). The geographic spread centers on California (twelve posted solicitations), Texas (four), Florida (five), and scattered activity in Massachusetts, South Carolina, Georgia, Colorado, Oregon, Utah, Arizona, and South Dakota.
