School districts dominate recent activity, reflecting steady demand for food service contracting tied to nutrition program funding cycles.

Geographic concentration spans Texas (multiple HHSC and TDCJ solicitations), Georgia (multiple school district and state agency solicitations), Oregon (Department of Corrections), Illinois (veterans home), and Missouri (school district), with Georgia and Texas showing the heaviest recent posting activity.
