I think you can also say that under the BCIP rules, you could do three more sole-source contracts. I think that's something that could be looked at as well. I don't know who came up with the idea of three more contracts, and it has to be done in two years. Sometimes it can take a year to get a contract in place, if not more.
Maybe you could look at making it so that once you're in BCIP, you're in BCIP, and that you can continue for a longer period of time and in more contracts.
