State and local buyers are acquiring produce either as individual commodity line items or as part of broader fresh-fruit-and-vegetable supply contracts. The mix of issuing bodies includes state departments of corrections and health services, county and city school districts, county parks and recreation boards, municipal departments of human services, state-supported living centers, mental health facilities, and non-profit child care and senior-services organizations.
