Job Order Contracting (JOC)
Purchase High Quality Construction Services Faster and for the Best Value
An Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) construction delivery method that allows many projects to be completed through a competitively-awarded contract. This single-solicitation process enables projects to start faster and creates partnerships between project owners and awarded contractors, resulting in higher quality work. As the creator of JOC, Gordian has decades of experience implementing and supporting successful JOC programs. Contact us to learn more.

When time and money are in limited supply, a Gordian JOC program maximizes your available resources. Preset unit pricing ensures cost control and quick movement from scope to construction, and Gordian’s cloud-based software gives you the power to set milestones and keep your project on track.
A Gordian JOC program gives owners peace of mind that available resources are being maximized. This competitively awarded IDIQ contract saves the time and expense of bidding out each project. The local pricing in the CTC ensures accurate project costs, and Gordian’s proposal review process eliminates inefficiencies and saves owners an average of 6% in hard construction costs.
Gordian has proven success helping clients meet, track and exceed their inclusion goals for disadvantaged, local, small, minority-owned, veteran-owned and woman-owned business enterprises. In fact, 35% of Gordian JOC contractors hold a minority-owned business certification.
Here’s how we help: Gordian performs outreach to your contractor community to help educate and encourage participation in your JOC program. Once the general contractors are awarded, Gordian will conduct additional outreach to sub-contractors to help ensure your program meets your inclusion goals. Our software application also tracks your KPIs, so you know how your program is performing at all times.
A successful JOC project depends on an accurate price proposal. Under a Gordian JOC program, all construction costs are preset and published in our Construction Task Catalog® (CTC), a Unit Price Book of more than 275,000 construction Tasks. Each Task includes a detailed description, unit of measurement, unit price and, where applicable, demolition cost. The Unit Prices contain locally developed direct costs for material and labor. The CTC also includes technical specifications and general conditions that contain the specific language concerning the execution of the contract. Before a price proposal even reaches your desk, Gordian will review to make sure it aligns with the project scope, so you know exactly what you’re paying for.
Gordian’s Job Order Contracting solutions include access to a secure, cloud-based software that gives you all the tools you need to run a best-in-class program. Quality control measures ensure contract compliance and version histories create an accurate record of every price proposal. Easily collaborate with contractors using comments and highlighted line-item revisions, and set project milestones for a quick reference to your progress.
Gordian has 30+ years of experience helping contract and manage construction services. We’ll help get contracts set up, perform contractor outreach, join site visits and review project proposals. This end-to-end program support supplements the experience and knowledge of your team, especially during peak construction seasons. That’s why Gordian JOC solutions are used to complete more than $2.6B in construction volume for more than 300 programs each year.
