Florida Department Of Juvenile Justice

Florida Department Of Juvenile Justice, doing business as Executive Office Of The Governor Of Florida, is a state government entity that receives federal formula grants as a prime recipient to strengthen juvenile delinquency prevention, intervention, and youth services across Florida, with substantial pass-through sub-award activity routed to state education and agriculture agencies.

The entity is a child division of the State of Florida and operates exclusively in the federal grant space, with no federal contract prime awards or participation in contract vehicles such as GWACs or IDIQs. Of 70 total awards in the source data spanning 2007 to August 2026, only 26 are prime awards (37%); the remaining 44 awards (63%) are sub-awards flowing through partner state agencies. Recent activity has accelerated: two awards in 2022 rising to nineteen in 2024 and seventeen in 2025, with seven awards recorded through August 2026. Combined federal obligation across all awards stands at $132.4 million.

The Department of Justice Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) dominates the prime recipient footprint. The entity holds four consecutive Title II Formula Grants (CFDA 16.540) spanning October 2022 through June 2030, with the most recent award of $2.3 million issued July 1, 2026 (completion date June 30, 2030). These grants fund delinquency prevention, early intervention, mentoring, skill-building, compliance monitoring under the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, and cross-sector collaboration with schools, law enforcement, and community organizations addressing racial and ethnic disparities, human trafficking, gang violence, and positive youth development. The entity also holds a Title II Formula Grant ($2.4 million, CFDA 16.735, PREA Program: Strategic Support for PREA Implementation, October 2023–September 2027) supporting PREA compliance monitoring and training systems for Florida's juvenile facilities.

Top customer agencies by award count are the Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service (17 awards), OJJDP (16 awards), the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (13 awards), the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs (9 awards), and the Department of Education Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (6 awards). These five agencies account for 87% of the 70 awards in the source portfolio. The concentration reflects pass-through structure: the entity receives OJJDP formula grants as prime recipient, then sub-awards funding to Florida Department of Education and Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services for Title I Parts A and D, special education services, National School Lunch Program (NSLP) operations, career and technical education, and migrant farmworker services delivered to youth in DJJ custody or residential facilities. Recurring sub-awards flow to Florida Department of Education for Title I, Part A (low-income education support), Title I, Part D (delinquent youth services), Perkins V (career technical education), and special education; to Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services for NSLP reimbursements (monthly sub-awards throughout 2024–2026); and to Florida Commission on Community Service and Florida State University for focused deterrence programming and career pathway development.

Only one award (combined potential value unspecified in source) faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, indicating minimal recompete exposure. The entity's role as a formula grant administrator and sub-award pass-through means it does not compete against federal contractors for acquisition work; rather, it channels federal juvenile justice and education funding to Florida's school districts, correctional facilities, and community service organizations.
