State and local issuing bodies include departments of criminal justice, health and human services commissions, school nutrition programs, county boards of education, and municipal departments of human services; the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and Texas Health and Human Services Commission appear multiple times as repeat buyers. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with additional procurement across Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, and other states.
