Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts and school boards (Bridgeport Board of Education, Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Douglas County School System), alongside state procurement offices (State of Georgia) and municipal purchasing departments.
