To purchase of two (2) 8-yard rear-loader garbage trucks, each mounted on a durable F-650 chassis (or equivalent) with all necessary accessories

The U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Insular Affairs awarded $350,000 to the Office of Management & Budget (Executive Office of the Government of the U.S. Virgin Islands) under the Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories program (CFDA 15.875) on November 6, 2025, for the procurement of two 8-yard rear-loader garbage trucks mounted on F-650 chassis or equivalent vehicles with necessary accessories. The award supports the Virgin Islands Waste Management Authority's (VIWMA) long-term strategic objectives to reduce dependence on contracted waste management services and improve operational efficiency.

The project addresses critical waste management infrastructure needs in the territory, with particular emphasis on managing illegal dumping activities and tire disposal. With a completion deadline of September 30, 2029, this capital equipment acquisition enables VIWMA to enhance service delivery capacity and establish greater operational autonomy in solid waste management operations across the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Supports viwma's long-term strategy to reduce reliance on contracted services, improve service efficiency, and address waste streams such as illegal dumping, particularly of tires.
