Job Order Contracting (JOC)
Purchase High Quality Construction Services Faster and for the Best Value
What is Job Order Contracting?
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.

Accurate Project Price Proposals for Your Projects
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.
Construction Spend Transparency and Control
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.
