Department of Justice federal obligations in South Dakota

Reading Justice dollars as a two-filter total in South Dakota

$123,011,412.88 is not Department of Justice's national book with a South Dakota footnote, and it is not South Dakota's all-agency book with an agency-015 footnote. It is the intersection only. Law-enforcement, grant, and court-support folklore stays outside the numeric fields.

Do not convert 430 into unique offices or grantees. The field is awardCount. USAspending.gov award actions include new awards, modifications, and other recorded events. This page copies the count; it does not re-label it as people, campuses, or companies.

Open Department of Justice in South Dakota for the filtered table, South Dakota federal spending for the next hub, Department of Justice for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

Division is not a typical-award study

A typical justice grant or enforcement award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 430 actions, $123,011,412.88 obligated, mean about $286,073.05, source USAspending.gov.

A mid-size award list is a description of 430, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

South Dakota geography versus Nebraska or North Dakota

Department of Justice is Department of Justice without a state filter. South Dakota federal spending is South Dakota without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide DOJ book as if it were South Dakota's $123,011,412.88 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Pierre is published here. Awards coded to North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, or Wyoming are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Sioux Falls. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 015.

No fiscal year is published in the facts

$123,011,412.88 records commitments tagged to Department of Justice and South Dakota. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

430 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use Department of Justice in South Dakota for the live table. Agency 015 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Donations do not fund this USAspending cell

The join is descriptive. $123,011,412.88 does not prove that South Dakota received too much or too little Department of Justice money, and it does not prove that Department of Justice activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Department of Justice obligations in South Dakota and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique offices or grantees are unpublished here, so none are invented.

Closing the loop on agency 015 and SD

Department of Justice in South Dakota remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $123,011,412.88. Place-of-performance South Dakota is statewide; it does not split Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and Pierre. Neighbor-coded activity in North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, or Wyoming stays out even if mail is handled in Sioux Falls. Correlation is not causation. Law-enforcement, grant, and court-support folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Prairie, black-hills, and missouri-river folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 015 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national DOJ budget on this page. South Dakota's $123,011,412.88 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from Department of Justice and call the difference 'South Dakota versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. Department of Justice is the awarding-agency label stored on the South Dakota overlay; the numeric key is 015. Readers who only remember the short name DOJ still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $123,011,412.88. The 430 figure is not a count of unique offices or grantees and is not a count of distinct DOJ programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $286,073.05 is not a typical justice grant or enforcement award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/sd/agencies/015/ and canonicalPath /ties/department-of-justice-in-south-dakota/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $123,011,412.88 or 430, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $123,011,412.88, 430 awards, agency 015, Department of Justice, South Dakota (SD), and the obligation unit.
