• Your Brand. Your Business. Our Contract Workforce.

OCSI.co has the business maturity of delivering professional services in the local, state, and federal government. The company’s enhanced business processes and government experience working with professional and nonexempt employees provides a competitive advantage to its clients’ teams along with cost savings and high-quality services offering as a subcontractor.

OCSI.co is a corporate member of the Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA). SIA’s partnership allows the OCSI.co team to deliver best practice staffing services and solutions while maintaining a competitive edge.

• We provide exactly what you need — precisely when you need it.

OCSI.co’s core strengths are providing staffing, contingent and direct hire workforces, independent contractors, payrolling/compliance and working with management services firms to deliver high quality technical, professional, engineering, construction management and administrative support human capital. OCSI.co also provides online training and accreditation through its partnership with the Global Academy online training portal.

The OCSI.co team is a group of talented and dedicated professionals with a common goal. They are committed to delivering the human spirit whether they are supporting their contractors, clients, sub-suppliers, or vendors.

Community Involvement

Involvement in its community is a focused corporate objective for OCSI.co. For more than 28 years, the company has contributed financial support and manpower hours to improve the communities where its staff and clients live, work, and play. This is just one of the many ways OCSI.co demonstrates its commitment to being a good corporate citizen.

Beneficiaries of the company’s involvement include:

• Berkeley Symphony.
