The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and boards of education (Hancock County, Savannah-Chatham, Douglas County, Early County, Rockwood R-VI, Bulloch County, Decatur, and Fulton County in Georgia, Florida, and Missouri), Texas state health and human services agencies supplying state hospitals and supported living centers, and correctional facility food services in California and Oregon. State agencies and school districts dominate activity under this code, with school nutrition programs representing the largest and most frequent buyer category across multiple renewal cycles.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Georgia and Texas, with secondary activity in Florida, California, Missouri, and Oregon.
