I can tell you that P50(phoenix tracon), doesn't want VFR towers assigning transponder codes for radar services. I have done it a few times but it really depends on who is working at the tracon if they accept it or not. I can say all the FAA towers(not sure about the contracts) in the phoenix have the ability to do it but the tracon doesnt like it. If you are departing out of CHD, that is the pima sector and is a low level sector, and is all about VFR services, so they shouldn't have any problem getting you a code.
