JSI Federal and State Contract Vehicles

Since 1978, JSI has provided high-quality public health management consulting, training, research, logistics, and technical support services to U.S. government agencies and other funders. JSI has been selected as a preferred contractor for a number of U.S. government contract vehicles, including GSA, IDIQ, and Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) vehicles to quickly satisfy funder needs (for other donors, please contact JSI directly). The benefits of using these contract vehicles are multiple:

  • They are less time-consuming than issuing a full request for proposal.
  • They provide easy access to JSI’s expertise and technical excellence.
  • They enable contracting agencies to meet their needs in a streamlined process with the most flexibility, in the least amount of time, using a single contract vehicle.
