Issuing bodies include state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office), county school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Douglas County School System, Muscogee County School District, Liberty County Board of Education), municipal school systems (Austin Independent School District, Dallas Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System), state-supported living centers, and city nutrition programs (Bridgeport Board of Education Nutrition Center).
