School districts, county governments, cities, water authorities, and special-purpose districts issue solicitations under this code; repeat buyers include Seminole County and Henry County, Georgia, which have posted multiple maintenance contracts; the City of Waxahachie and City of Phoenix have issued both installation and maintenance solicitations.
