USDA FSA South Dakota State Office

The Department of Agriculture Farm Service Agency South Dakota State Office is a sub-office within USDA that administers farm-service programs and operational support functions at the state level, procuring goods and services to support agricultural lending, crop insurance, conservation, and disaster-assistance operations in South Dakota.

The agency's contract portfolio spans 34 awards since 2010, with combined potential value of $1.4 million and $1.3 million obligated as of the most recent award on September 18, 2024. Activity over the last five years shows variable cadence: 1 award in 2020, 5 in 2021, 2 in 2022, 3 in 2023, and 3 in 2024. Among recent awards, 10 percent carry no reported potential value, typical of Schedule task orders, BPA calls, or below-threshold purchase orders. The agency has engaged 22 distinct prime contractors across its portfolio history, a sign of a fragmented competitive base.

Over the last five years, contract awards are fragmented by count. Steelcase Inc. leads with 4 awards totaling $270 thousand combined potential value, followed by Moi, Inc. with 3 awards worth $124 thousand, and Sonstegard Foods Co with 2 awards worth $356 thousand. The top three vendors by count account for 9 of 10 recent awards. By potential value, Sonstegard Foods Co, Steelcase Inc., and Moi, Inc. together hold 57 percent of combined recent potential value, indicating moderate concentration by dollars despite a wider spread of awardees by count.

Set-asides remain minimal: 71 percent of awards carry no set-aside designation, while 21 percent are designated Small Business and 3 percent are Emerging Small Business. The portfolio reflects routine state-office procurement for facilities, equipment, and services rather than specialized or high-volume production contracting.
