This table does not. $10,249,484.68 is 561612 only, inside South Dakota only.

Guard and patrol services cover posted security, not surveying. This extract does not name posts, shifts, or primes. About $488,071 per award comes from dividing $10,249,484.68 by 21. Use that ratio as a scale check, not as a typical South Dakota invoice. No median and no fiscal-year slice appear in the facts.

South Dakota geography on a 561612 cell

South Dakota place of performance can cover Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Ellsworth-adjacent addresses, or a reporting address. The packet has no post split.

A South Dakota performance tag can sit on work whose parts, crews, or ships moved through other states. The join reports the tag, not a bill of lading. /states/sd/ uses the same place-of-performance rule for every industry on the state hub.
