State and local governments buying under this code or related food-commodity codes are acquiring products primarily for school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and veterans' homes. The issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county community services departments, and independent school districts.

Most solicitations require firm fixed pricing, FOB destination delivery, compliance with Buy American provisions where applicable, and vendor insurance and debarment certifications.
