Supreme Court Of The Virgin Islands

The Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands, doing business as the Judiciary of the U.S. Virgin Islands, is a U.S. territorial government entity that receives federal grant funding to support court operations, child welfare case management, and judicial infrastructure in the U.S. Virgin Islands. The organization operates as a prime recipient of federal grants (41% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on state and local government pass-through awards (59% of recent awards), with no federal contract prime or sub-contract activity in the source data.

The organization's grant portfolio centers on the Administration for Children and Families' State Court Improvement Program (CFDA 93.586), which provides recurring formula grants to enhance judicial processes and legal representation within child welfare proceedings. The Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands received a $262,344 State Court Improvement Program formula grant from the Administration for Children and Families awarded October 1, 2025, with completion scheduled for September 30, 2027, supporting judicial process improvements, court infrastructure development, and child welfare case management. Prior formula grants under the same program cycle annually (SCIP-2025, SCIP-2024, SCIP-2023, and SCIP-2022, all awarded October 1 of each respective year with September 30 completion dates). Beyond HHS/ACYF funding, the organization also receives federal grants from the Department of Justice's Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance (7 awards) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (4 awards), with the Office on Violence Against Women accounting for 2 awards. The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families accounts for 100% award-count coverage across the four customer agencies named.

Sub-award activity flows primarily through the Law Enforcement Planning Commission and the Government of the Virgin Islands. Recent sub-awards from the Supreme Court of the Virgin Islands include funding directed to the Law Enforcement Planning Commission for domestic violence training initiatives and operational equipment purchases for the Office of the Virgin Islands Marshal (including two vehicle purchases and law enforcement equipment in 2023–2024), and multiple pass-throughs to the Government of the Virgin Islands for court facility repairs and infrastructure improvements including the Alexander McFarrelly Justice Center, Farrelly Complex elevators, and Rising Star Buildings maintenance.

Award activity shows modest growth—one award in 2022 growing to six in 2024, with four awards in the first five months of 2026. Only two awards have ultimate completion dates within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The organization's federal footprint remains concentrated in territorial judicial and law-enforcement support rather than broader service delivery, with no indication of commercial contract vehicles or competitive bidding posture.
