State and local buyers procure data center capacity for election systems, child support payment processing, early intervention case management, agency-wide accounting and human resources platforms, and workstation management across geographically dispersed facilities. The issuing bodies include state health departments, state education agencies, state election boards, county auditor-controller offices, and special-purpose districts.
