State and local governments soliciting under this code are actually buying broad food baskets—fresh produce, proteins, frozen items, dairy, and pantry staples—for school lunch and breakfast programs, with individual produce items like frozen organic grape tomatoes tagged at the commodity level within larger food service RFPs and IFBs. The issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (independent school districts, county boards of education, and regional cooperative purchasing groups) along with state departments of education and state agency food services. Recent opportunities show school districts as the dominant buyer segment: Early County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Dallas Independent School District, and the Douglas County School System all issued major food service procurement notices in the first half of 2026.
