Guaranteed Volume |
| This approach involves a commitment from a government entity that they will purchase a certain volume of job order contracting services. This commitment assures the JOC of a minimum volume of orders to support the program to service requests from participating entities that receive volume discounts as an incentive to commit to purchase minimum volumes. |

Potential Volume |
| This approach involves no commitment as to the exact volume that will be purchased. An estimated volume of purchases based on past experience may be presented to the JOC to use in vendor negotiations. |

Piggyback Contracts |

Piggyback contracts are contracts that allow agencies to use Program Purchase Agreements to “piggyback” on the contract terms and prices. The advantage of this approach is that it is relatively easy to administer and reduces administrative costs and can result in a significant bid price reduction. |
