KBR and the JOC Solution

Job Order Contracting (JOC)
Job Order Contracting provides you with an onsite contractor to accomplish cost-effective, highly responsive solutions for concurrent multiple repair, renovation and construction projects under one, competitively bid fixed price contract.

The History of JOC
The JOC concept was initiated by the Department of Defense in 1985 to provide a more efficient solution to facility repair requirements and to substantially reduce the procurement cycle time to award and accomplish multiple job orders. Due to their success, state regulations changed to allow selection of a JOC contractor based on "Best Value" rather than "Lowest Price," as typically required in conventional construction contracting.

How JOC Works
A JOC contract is awarded on a "best value" basis, which is determined by an evaluation of past performance, technical expertise and price. The contracts have a low guaranteed minimum value of work, with a high, but realistic maximum value. The difference between the minimum and maximum volume, and opportunities for year-end extensions at client discretion, give the contractor a strong incentive to provide high quality, cost-effective and responsive service.

JOC and Your Maintenance Staff

In a school district, military base, or any local, state or federal agency, JOC complements the internal maintenance workforce, freeing them up from complex, one-time projects, so they can focus on their primary mission - maintenance.

JOC Benefits
