Fort Lenard Wood, Missouri, Directorate of Public Works JOC & USAR Support Branch Introduction to Job Order ContractingJob Order Contracting (JOC) is one of many contract execution tools available to organizations looking for ways to carry out real property maintenance and minor construction projects. It is currently in use by most military installations, other federal agencies that manage facilities, and many public- and private-sector property owners. The JOC process is identified by many different names (e.g., Delivery Order Contracting, Task Order Contracting, Simplified Acquisition of Base Engineering Requirements {SABER}, and as simply as Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity {IDIQ}), but in all cases the basic tenets are the same. An “umbrella” contract is awarded against which subsequent task orders (defining actual project requirements) are issued, each with a firm, fixed price. When administered as a performance based contract, the Contractor is motivated to provide timely and quality construction in order to receive more work. Since 1990, the U.S. Army’s Fort Leonard Wood Directorate of Public Works has been using this innovative tool to execute requirements both at the Installation and at US Army Reserve facilities. | Federal legislation allows all highway bridges to be eligible for federal aid funding.The FHWA Project No 14 (SEP-14) may be used to evaluate promising non-traditional contracting techniques by using JOC for the maintenance repairs.
