State and local governments buy under this code primarily to stock institutional cafeterias, food service programs at state-supported living centers, corrections facilities, and school nutrition operations.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners (Georgia) solicited shelf-stable food items including canned vegetables under an IWQ with a response deadline of October 19, 2026. Ben Hill County Schools (Georgia) and Burke County Public Schools (Georgia) issued school nutrition food bids in May and June 2026 covering nearly 400 line items each across multiple produce categories to support five-school systems. Oregon Department of Corrections posted a canned-tomato procurement in June 2026 (7,616 cases) with Oregon-fabricated and Oregon-resident bidder preferences of 5 percent. The code shows steady activity across institutional food service in the Southeast and South, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest.
