Why It Matters

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Job Order Contract (JOC)?

A JOC is a procurement method used by government agencies to perform maintenance, repair, and minor construction projects through a series of individual work orders rather than bidding each project separately.

Why is the award amount listed as $0?

In many government master contracts, the initial award amount is $0 because the contract sets the terms and pricing for future work, but actual funds are only committed when specific work orders are issued.
