South Dakota’s 219,302 awards and $36.84B

219,302 South Dakota award records

South Dakota’s distinctive file statistic on this page is 219,302 awards for FY2024–2026. That is a count of USAspending.gov award records, including modifications and assistance actions in the source. It is not a count of unique South Dakota recipients. This packet does not publish a recipient total.

A file with 219,302 rows can still sum to $36.84B in obligations. Record volume is not a substitute for dollars. The South Dakota spending hub keeps both columns visible so readers do not treat a busy file as a larger obligation book than $36.84B.

The $36.84B obligation sum

The $36.84B South Dakota total is a sum of obligation amounts on those awards. An obligation is a commitment. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. SpendingVault does not convert South Dakota’s $36.84B into outlays. Pierre’s state budget is a different series.

Keep the two-decimal form. Rounding South Dakota would leave the indexed extract. Cite $36.84B as USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026, not as cash already paid and not as the South Dakota state budget.

FY2024–2026 for South Dakota

South Dakota’s figures combine federal fiscal years 2024, 2025, and 2026. The $36.84B is a window total. It is not a calendar-year stack and not a FY2026-only run-rate. Federal fiscal years start on October 1.

Because USAspending.gov is a living file, later corrections can move $36.84B and 219,302 awards. Cite the current index and the three-year label. This packet does not include an ingest timestamp.

South Dakota’s 219,302 awards are the volume marker; $36.84B is the obligation marker. A busy file is still not a larger dollar book than $36.84B. The South Dakota spending hub keeps both columns so record volume is not mistaken for cash. This packet does not publish a unique-recipient count.

South Dakota’s 219,302 awards can dominate a conversation that should start with $36.84B in obligations. Volume is not dollars. The South Dakota spending hub shows both columns for FY2024–2026 so a busy file is not mistaken for a larger book than $36.84B.

What the South Dakota hub excludes

The South Dakota hub lists award obligations. Federal flows that never become awards sit outside $36.84B. That boundary is definitional. Stretching 219,302 rows to cover every federal dollar in South Dakota would invent coverage.

If a headline disagrees with $36.84B, check whether it used outlays or another year. Do not paste that headline onto this award-file roll-up. Stay with USAspending.gov obligations for FY2024–2026.

FY2024–2026 is a federal window. The $36.84B is their combined obligation sum from USAspending.gov, not Pierre’s budget and not a calendar-year stack. A federal fiscal year starts on October 1. Late rows can move $36.84B and 219,302 awards after a reload.
