State and local procurement under this code covers canned and jarred soup products, though recent solicitation activity shows minimal direct relevance to the code's specific soup-celery formulation. Instead, state and local governments issue frequent competitive bids for broad food procurement spanning canned vegetables, prepared foods, and grocery staples as part of school nutrition programs, state institutional feeding (corrections facilities, health and human services centers, veterans homes), and other public cafeteria operations. Issuing bodies include school districts of varying sizes (Fairfax County Public Schools serving 45+ schools; Rockwood R-VI School District serving 19,000 students; Burke County Public Schools serving five schools; smaller districts like Ben Hill County Schools and Liberty County Board of Education), state departments and agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Oregon Department of Corrections, Georgia state operations, Illinois Veterans Home), and county school nutrition programs. School districts dominate the recent activity, with food procurement split between central warehouse supply contracts (often requiring 900+ line items across all food categories) and narrower specialty purchases (produce, eggs, or commodity categories like canned tomatoes or tomato paste).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Georgia (Douglas County Schools, Liberty County Board of Education, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Muscogee County School District, Ben Hill County Schools) and Texas (HHSC statewide facilities, TDCJ correctional food service, individual school districts). Oregon Department of Corrections and state facilities in Illinois, Missouri (Rockwood R-VI in St. Louis County), and Virginia (Fairfax County Public Schools) also show recent activity.
