 124 STAT. 3781 PUBLIC LAW 111–350—JAN. 4, 2011 (d) CONTENT OF NOTICE.—The notice required by section 1708 of this title and section 8(e) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)) shall reasonably and fairly describe the general scope, mag- nitude, and duration of the proposed task order contract in a manner that would reasonably enable a potential offeror to decide whether to request the solicitation and consider submitting an offer. (e) REQUIRED CONTENT OF SOLICITATION AND CONTRACT.— (1) SOLICITATION.—The solicitation shall include the informa- tion (regarding services) described in section 4103(b) of this title. (2) CONTRACT.—A task order contract entered into under this section shall contain the same information that is required by paragraph (1) to be included in the solicitation of offers for that contract. (f) MULTIPLE AWARDS.— (1) AUTHORITY TO MAKE MULTIPLE AWARDS.—On the basis of one solicitation, the head of an executive agency may award separate task order contracts under this section for the same or similar services to 2 or more sources if the solicitation states that the head of the executive agency has the option to do so. (2) CONTENT OF SOLICITATION.—In the case of a task order contract for advisory and assistance services to be entered into under this section, if the contract period is to exceed 3 years and the contract amount is estimated to exceed $10,000,000 (including all options), the solicitation shall— (A) provide for a multiple award authorized under para- graph (1); and (B) include a statement that the head of the executive agency may also elect to award only one task order contract if the head of the executive agency determines in writing that only one of the offerors is capable of providing the services required at the level of quality required. (3) NONAPPLICATION.—Paragraph (2) does not apply in the case of a solicitation for which the head of the executive agency concerned determines in writing that, because the services required under the contract are unique or highly specialized, it is not practicable to award more than one contract.

(3) NOTICE.—Notice regarding the modification shall be pro- vided in accordance with section 1708 of this title and section 8(e) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 637(e)). (h) CONTRACT EXTENSIONS.— (1) WHEN CONTRACT MAY BE EXTENDED.—Notwithstanding the limitation on the contract period set forth in subsection (c) or in a solicitation or contract pursuant to subsection (f),
