Best Value is RHJ-JOC's brand. The relentless pursuit of Best Value when meeting the needs of our clients is our mission.

Best Value vs. Lowest Price
Federal and State procurement codes now encourage agencies to shift from Lowest Price toward Best Value procurement models to allow greater flexibility and autonomy in the procurement of goods and services.

RHJ-JOC's Best Value Strategy
1) Know the client's goals
2) Develop tailored solutions to address their unique procurement goals and public     relations objectives
3) Engage the local community with public outreach programs
4) Establish partnering agreements with respected local businesses
5) Subcontract at least 80% of the work to local businesses
6) Target sheltered market businesses as subcontractors and suppliers
7) Strict compliance with ISO 9000 and ISO 1401 standards and require all     subcontractors to meet the same standards
