A few state-level procurement offices also appear in the mix, including the State of Georgia and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts procuring on behalf of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The geographic spread covers Georgia (multiple school districts and state procurement), Texas (TDCJ), Virginia (Fairfax County), Missouri (Rockwood), Connecticut (Bridgeport), and California (Santa Clara County), with the heaviest concentration in school nutrition programs across the Southeast.
