How JOC works
An agency awards one or more JOC contracts with a unit-price book (often a customized RSMeans-based catalog) and a coefficient that adjusts that book. When a job comes up, the contractor scopes it, prices it against the book, and the agency issues a task order. Mobilization is days, not the months a one-off design-bid-build job would take.
Where JOC fits best
Renovations, tenant improvements, exterior repairs, paving and striping, building envelope work, mechanical and electrical upgrades, and dozens of other categories that sit between micropurchase and a major capital project.
- Roof patching and full replacements under threshold.
- Office renovations and reconfigurations.
- Site work, paving, fencing, lighting.
- Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades.
How AXA South delivers under JOC
We hold the JOC, we walk the site with the facility manager, we scope and price against the book, and we coordinate the licensed-trade subs who execute the work. The agency sees one prime, one schedule, one invoice format, and a finished job inside the calendar they need it on.
Common questions
How fast can a JOC task order move?
+
Routine task orders often run from site walk to notice-to-proceed in one to three weeks. Emergency repairs can be faster.
Is JOC only for federal work?
+
No. State universities, K-12 districts, cities, counties, and state facility agencies use JOC heavily as well.
Do you self-perform JOC work?
+
We self-perform some categories and team with licensed-trade partners for others. The licensed work is always performed by a properly licensed contractor.
