South Carolina’s federal obligation index

South Carolina’s $395.96B from award files

The $395.96B South Carolina total is built from obligation amounts on USAspending.gov awards for FY2024–2026. Obligation means a recorded federal commitment. Outlay means cash movement at Treasury. This page keeps South Carolina on the first series. The state’s own budget is not the source of $395.96B.

Reuse the two-decimal form. A rounded slogan would not match the indexed extract. Beside the dollars, the file counts 259,168 awards for South Carolina. Both numbers come from USAspending.gov as indexed on SpendingVault.

259,168 South Carolina award records

259,168 awards is a count of records, not unique South Carolina recipients. Modifications and assistance actions in the source add rows. This packet does not publish a recipient total. Dollar volume and row volume can move on different scales.

The South Carolina spending hub places $395.96B next to 259,168 awards so neither column is inferred from the other. This summary does not invent a typical award size from those two facts.

FY2024–2026 on the South Carolina index

South Carolina’s posted totals combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $395.96B is a window sum. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only number. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Late actions and corrections in USAspending.gov can change $395.96B and 259,168 awards after a reload. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include a download date.

South Carolina’s $395.96B combines federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. It is not a calendar-year total and not a Columbia appropriation. A federal fiscal year begins on October 1. The 259,168-award count shares that window. File corrections can change both statistics without changing the obligation definition.

South Carolina’s 259,168 awards and $395.96B share the FY2024–2026 USAspending.gov window. Record count is not a recipient census. Dollar sum is not an outlay total. The South Carolina spending hub is the place to see both at once.

South Carolina’s $395.96B and 259,168 awards should travel together in any FY2024–2026 citation. The South Carolina spending hub lists the rows. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages keep the obligation definition and do not substitute the state budget.

What the South Carolina tables omit

The South Carolina hub is an award-obligation index. Federal flows that never appear as awards sit outside $395.96B. Stretching 259,168 rows to cover every federal presence in South Carolina would invent coverage the files do not claim.

If a chart of South Carolina federal spending uses a different magnitude, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that chart onto $395.96B. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash at Treasury. South Carolina’s $395.96B is the commitment series from USAspending.gov award files. Mixing an outlay headline with 259,168 award rows produces a false story.

Columbia’s budget is a different book. Keep $395.96B labeled as obligations. Agency, comparison, and per-capita pages stay on that unit. This packet has no agency mix to quote.
