This contract will be properly limited in accordance with FAR 6.302-2(d) in that the period of performance does not exceed the time necessary to (A) meet the unusual and compelling requirements of the work to be performed and (B) for the agency to enter into another contract for the required services through the use of competitive procedures.

V. Demonstration that the contractor's unique qualifications or nature of the acquisition requires the use of the authority cited above (applicability of authority).

VI. Description of efforts made to ensure that offers are solicited from as many potential sources as practicable.
