A job order contract (JOC) is a contract for a fixed term or maximum dollar value, whichever occurs first, in which a contractor is selected based on a competitive bid to perform various separate job orders in the future, during the life of the contract.
Desreta Jackson is best known for playing the young version of Celie Johnson, opposite Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, and Oprah Winfrey in Steven Spielbergâs 1985 Oscar-nominate drama, The Color Purple.
At the start of the novel, Celie is a fourteen-year-old, vulnerable, abused black girl who addresses her letters to âDear God.â Thirty years later, at the end of the novel, she has forged her own life despite a male-dominated and racially prejudiced society.
