State and local governments buying under this code primarily include fire rescue departments and emergency services (City of Austin Fire Arson Investigators, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, Atlanta Fire Rescue Department, City of Tampa Fire Rescue Department, Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services), health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and school districts (Klein Independent School District).
