The issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, county and city school boards, special-purpose agencies like Head Start organizations, county sheriffs' offices operating detention facilities, and state departments of corrections. School districts and state health agencies dominate recent activity, with multiple Georgia and Texas jurisdictions posting solicitations in the past six months.

Recent opportunities show consistent demand across the South and West.
