Department Of Corrections South Dakota

Department Of Corrections South Dakota, a state government entity and division of the State of South Dakota headquartered in Pierre, acts as a federal grant recipient in juvenile justice and correctional facility compliance programs administered by the Department of Justice. The agency does not hold federal contracts; its federal footprint consists entirely of prime and sub-grant awards across nine distinct federal customer agencies.

The agency's federal work concentrates in juvenile justice system reform, facility compliance, and prison-rape-elimination training. As a prime recipient under the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Title II Formula Grants program (CFDA 16.540), South Dakota Department of Corrections has received four awards since 2022, most recently a $620,198 grant awarded July 1, 2026, running through June 30, 2030, to inspect correctional facilities for Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act (JJDPA) compliance, collect and verify juvenile admission data, fund Native American tribal juvenile justice programs, and sustain South Dakota's juvenile justice reinvestment initiative. A second major grant stream flows from the Bureau of Justice Assistance; a $545,446 award (award date not specified in source) supports Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) compliance training and staff education across confinement facilities, with ultimate completion October 31, 2026. In its sub-recipient role, the agency has received five sub-grant awards since 2024 from the South Dakota Department of Labor & Regulation (two WIOA Title II Adult Education and Family Literacy sub-awards in July 2025 and one Adult Education Services sub-award in July 2024) and the South Dakota Department of Education (two IDEA Part B sub-awards in July 2024).

Prime awards account for 91% of the agency's federal footprint (49 of 54 awards), with the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs and its sub-offices — the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (12 awards) and the Bureau of Justice Assistance (6 awards) — representing 76% of award count across six agencies. The combined obligated dollars across all awards totals $27 million against a combined potential value of $30 thousand, reflecting the grant-focused, non-contract nature of the work. Two awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, representing modest recompete exposure. The agency's NAICS profile reflects its correctional-facilities operations: Sewage Treatment Facilities and Correctional Institutions each carry four awards, with subordinate water-infrastructure and construction categories. PSC concentration in Housekeeping–Waste Treatment/Storage (six awards) and Recreational and Gymnastic Equipment (two awards) aligns with facility management and inmate programming rather than service contracts.
