Private Commercial

Procurement that moves at the speed of business.

A flexible, predictable model to keep your facilities running and your operations on track.

Services included

Your buildings are more than just assets — they're the engines of your business.

Traditional bidding processes are often too slow and rigid for the fast-paced commercial world, leading to project delays and lost revenue. FOS' job order contracting (JOC) software, Simplebid®, is designed specifically for private owners. We combine the precision of assembly-based pricing with the flexibility of private contracting, allowing you to maintain your portfolio with total cost visibility.

Your business rules. Our expert framework.

We adapt the proven structure of JOC to fit the way your organization actually makes decisions and gets work done.

Customized Workflows

We shape our proposal and approval pathways to match your internal hierarchy, ensuring a Notice to Proceed that moves at the speed of a handshake.

Tailored unit price books

We build unit price books (UPB) that reflect your specific material standards, preferred vendor agreements and regional labor markets, so pricing always fits your business context.

Seamless Connectivity

Our platform integrates with your existing property management systems, ensuring that facility data informs your broader business strategy.

Common challenges

Your facilities won’t wait. Your procurement method shouldn’t either.

Managing a commercial portfolio – from retail centers to corporate campuses – requires a procurement model as agile as your business.

The Speed Gap

Traditional ‘design-bid-build’ cycles move too slowly for urgent tenant improvements or critical facility repairs. Every delay has a real operational cost.

Operational Friction

Construction disruptions that impact the tenant experience, customer flow or employee productivity are a business problem, not just a facilities issue.

Stakeholder Fragmentation

Getting internal stakeholders – from Finance to Operations – on the same page about scope and cost takes structure that most procurement models simply don’t provide.

The Predictability Problem

Inconsistent pricing and ‘change order culture' make it impossible to accurately forecast renewal spending with confidence.

Contract, project and work order management tools, right in your pocket.

Our Simplebid® software creates a centralized management framework for organized, competitive procurement.

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help.

How is private JOC different from public JOC?

While public JOC is built around strict statutory compliance, our private sector model is built for flexibility. We remove the red tape and focus on your specific business terms, approval hierarchies and speed requirements.

Can you integrate with our property management system?

Yes. We believe that data is only useful if it’s accessible. Our platform is designed to connect with major property management platforms to ensure a single source of truth for your facility spending.

What contracting terms can be customized?

Almost everything. From the structure of the Unit Price Book to the specific KPIs we track for your contractors, we work with you to ensure the program reflects your business goals.
