Issuing bodies include county boards of education, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, county boards of commissioners, independent school districts, and city nutrition departments.

These jurisdictions source food through standing contracts, quarterly or annual renewals, and competitive bids valued from roughly $41,000 (Oregon ODOC applesauce) to $4.5 million over three years (Texas HHSC supplemental foods).
