GCs on JOC contracts compete on coefficient — not on inflated line items. PreCom Exact locks RS Means costs at the component level, produces a complete audit trail, and gives your agency a single defensible number for every scope of work.

Audit trail coverage
RS Means is required in JOC bidding — but the platforms that deliver it allow GCs to override unit costs at the line-item level. The “standard” isn't actually standard.
Supports all major JOC cooperative programs
Every feature exists to give your agency a defensible record — from first scope to final invoice.
GCs compete on their Award Criteria Figure — a weighted composite of 7 adjustment factors (F1–F7). PreCom Exact scores every submission the same way and flags any outlier coefficient before award. No more low-ball bids that inflate later.
RS Means and Gordian allow users to override bare unit costs before the coefficient is applied — meaning two GCs can bid the same scope at wildly different prices. PreCom Exact publishes a locked Unit Price Book and flags any task order line item that deviates more than 10% from the baseline.
Field techs submit installed quantities against every ordered line item. Deviations over 15% are automatically flagged and trigger a payment hold, with estimated overbilling calculated per line. Agency approves or rejects before payment releases.
Agency uploads architectural drawings, technical specifications, and the Unit Price Book before publication. GCs download directly from the platform — one version of record, no email chains.
Submissions are scored and ranked automatically by Award Criteria Figure. One-click award generates a signed award letter, locks the winning GC's coefficient to all future task orders, and timestamps the decision in the audit log.
Every action — program creation, coefficient submission, award, task order, price flag, quantity flag, payment release — is logged with actor, timestamp, and before/after values. OIG and DCAA-ready from day one.
Your procurement team ingests the scope. PreCom Exact prices it against locked RS Means data and your program's coefficient. Every step is logged.
Upload a scope document or job-site photos. The AI parses them into structured line items tagged with CSI MasterFormat 2018 codes. Items below 95% confidence are flagged for human review before entering the estimate.
Select your JOC cooperative program (or enter your awarded contract coefficient manually). ZIP-based CCI multipliers apply automatically. Labor-only and owner-furnished equipment modes are available without touching source RS Means data.
Estimates over $50,000 require named admin sign-off before reaching client-ready or sent status. The signed estimate carries a full component-level breakdown — exactly what a DCAA, OIG, or inspector general audit will ask for.
Stop accepting bids built on RS Means data you can't verify. PreCom Exact gives your agency the locked baseline, the audit trail, and the sign-off workflow your program requires.
