The issuing bodies include special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), state transportation departments (Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of ferries operations), state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Florida Department of Health via Marion County), cities and municipalities (Pembroke Pines, Richardson, Huntsville, Fort Worth), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties and broader public entities). The code sees activity across multiple states and regions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Texas (Fort Worth Housing Solutions, City of Richardson, City of Huntsville, Texas HHSC), Florida (City of Pembroke Pines, Marion County), Georgia (Georgia World Congress Center Authority), and Washington (WSDOT ferries, Sourcewell multi-state initiative).
