Issuing bodies include state health and human services commissions, state departments of corrections, independent school districts, county boards of commissioners, and other state agencies. Work solicited ranges from episodic tactical buys of specific items (such as canned tomatoes or potatoes) to comprehensive annual food service contracts spanning hundreds of line items across multiple product categories, with delivery requirements typically 7 to 72 hours after order receipt and F.O.B.
