A term used when buying vending machine.

On federal and Florida state property, the part of vending income the law sends to blind vendor programs.

A location commission is normally the host's to negotiate, and on federal property it is not. The federal rule counts a commercial operator's commission there as vending machine income, on any property the government owns, leases or occupies, post offices and defense sites included. Where a machine competes on the same premises with a blind vendor's stand, all of that income accrues to the state licensing agency for the vendor; where it does not, half does. Arrangements outside the agency's own contracts are renegotiated when they expire, and military exchanges, the Veterans Canteen Service and small non-competing sites are carved out. Florida reaches further on state property other than universities, colleges and prisons. Income from any new or replacement machine installed there since 1979 accrues to the blind licensee or the state division, so a machine swap on a Florida state site hands its income away.
