What is the different between Competitive Bid, CSP, CMA@R, Job Order Contracting?

NOTES: D. JOB ORDER CONTRACTING (JOC)

Job order contracting is a process of contracting for the minor construction,
or maintenance type work on a facility when the work is of a recurring
nature but the delivery times, type, and quantities of work required are
indefinite. Orders are priced based substantially upon pre-defined and pre-
priced task.

Advantages
 Potentially fast response
 Reduced changes since scope of task is typically small
 Easier to keep track of individuals' and teams' performance in terms of

cost-control, efficiency and productivity

Disadvantages
 Not suited for large construction projects or medium projects that

require two or more trades.
 Requires a highly trained staff in house to manage
 Places risk with the Owner

Bottom Line
This delivery method is best suited for minor construction, repair, or
maintenance projects.
