A small number of state and local governments outside the education sector (Columbia County Board of Commissioners for a grand piano purchase, Norwalk Public Schools) round out the mix.

Geographic concentration clusters in Georgia, with significant activity in Maryland and Missouri; secondary activity appears in Texas, Connecticut, and scattered other states.
