← Jul 2025Sep 2025 →

USAspending caveat. Figures are obligations reported by federal agencies to USAspending.gov, not payments. In USAspending's words: "An outlay occurs when federal money is actually paid out, not just promised to be paid ('obligated')." "Every agency has a Senior Accountable Official who must officially certify that the quarterly financial data submitted by their agency is accurate and complete." "If there are any discrepancies in procurement data, FPDS is the authoritative source." Contract data for the Department of Defense and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is published with a 90-day delay. Data loaded 30 Sep 2026; agencies keep reporting into recent months.

58 new federal awards of $1.0M or more were recorded with a primary place of performance in South Dakota in August 2025, worth $285M in total award value: $65M in contracts, $214M in grants, $5.8M in other assistance.

That is more than the state's median month over the last two years (30 awards) and 0.7% of the 8,521 such awards recorded nationwide that month.

The most active awarding agencies were Department of Transportation (24 awards), Environmental Protection Agency (3 awards) and Department of Veterans Affairs (1 award).

Questions and answers

How many federal awards were made in South Dakota in August 2025?

58 new prime awards of $1.0M or more with a primary place of performance in South Dakota carry a base obligation date in August 2025, with a combined award value of $285M. Smaller awards and modifications to older awards are not counted.

Who received them?

Is award value the same as spending?

No. Award value is the amount obligated to the award so far as USAspending reports it; obligations are commitments, and outlays (actual payments) follow later, often over several years.
