Supreme Court Of The State Of Delaware

The Administrative Office of the Courts of the State of Delaware, a division of the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware, operates as a U.S. government entity providing judicial administration, court operations support, and federal grant sub-award work focused on problem-solving courts, community justice programs, and extreme risk protection order training. The entity does not hold federal contract prime awards or contract vehicles; it functions exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal grants flowing through the Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware.

Administrative Office of the Courts is a division of the State of Delaware, the parent entity. The division's federal footprint consists entirely of sub-award work under nine federal grants, with combined dollars obligated totaling $1.7 million across eleven awards since 2012. The top three customer agencies account for 100% of recent awards, all concentrated within the Department of Justice. The Bureau of Justice Assistance (Office of Justice Programs) has funded nine sub-awards; the Office on Violence Against Women and the Office of Justice Programs itself have funded one award each.

Capability work centers on judicial training, court operations, and community justice initiatives. Recent representative sub-awards include training and procedural support for extreme risk protection orders and weapon relinquishment orders (awarded March 2026 under Executive Office of the Governor of Delaware pass-through), clinical and behavioral support training for judicial staff and public-facing court services (June 2024), Problem-Solving Court team training aligned with Ten Key Components standards (August 2023 and August 2023 awards), and targeted restorative community programs serving historically marginalized Wilmington neighborhoods with case management and judicial oversight (October 2023 and October 2017 awards). A January 2022 sub-award supported operational continuation of the Wilmington Community Court and Community Resource Center.

Activity has been sporadic: two awards in 2021, one in 2022, four in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2026. The entity does not compete for federal contracts under set-asides or full-and-open vehicles and does not hold seats on GWACs, BPAs, or agency IDIQs. Federal work arrives through pass-through grant sub-awards from the state's Executive Office of the Governor, typically triggered by Department of Justice behavioral health, problem-solving court, or violence prevention grant programs.
