(a) Unless otherwise provided in an appropriations act, or approved pursuant to § 1-204.51, a contract for goods or services shall not be entered into for periods which extend beyond 12 months.

(1) Estimated requirements cover the period of the contract and are reasonably firm and continuing; and
(2) The contract would serve the best interests of the District, encourage effective competition, or otherwise promote economies in District procurement.
