The issuing bodies span state departments (Oregon Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois Chief Procurement Office, Georgia state agencies), county and independent school districts (Austin ISD, Dallas ISD, Fairfax County Public Schools, Hancock County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Muscogee County School District, Rockwood R-VI School District, Douglas County School System), municipalities (Bridgeport, Connecticut), and special-purpose districts serving multiple jurisdictions (GEC Buying Cooperative). School districts and institutional food programs appear as the dominant repeat buyers, with multiple solicitations per district for grocery and produce sourcing annually.
