A quick definition of Requirements contract:

A requirements contract is an agreement between a buyer and a seller where the seller promises to provide the buyer with all the goods they need, and the buyer agrees to only buy from that seller. The buyer must ask for reasonable amounts of goods, and the seller must do their best to provide them. For example, if a company needs a lot of paper, they might make a requirements contract with a paper supplier to make sure they always have enough.

A more thorough explanation:

A requirements contract is a type of agreement between a buyer and a seller where the seller agrees to provide the buyer with all the goods they need, and the buyer agrees to purchase those goods exclusively from the seller. This means that the buyer is obligated to buy all of their needed goods from the seller, and the seller is obligated to provide those goods to the buyer.

For example, if a restaurant enters into a requirements contract with a supplier for all of their food and beverage needs, the restaurant is obligated to purchase all of their food and beverages from that supplier, and the supplier is obligated to provide all of the food and beverages the restaurant needs.

It's important to note that the buyer must request the quantities in good faith, and the quantities cannot be unreasonably disproportionate to any stated estimates or comparable quantities. Additionally, the seller must use their best efforts in providing the buyer with the products.

An example of a requirements contract dispute can be seen in the case of Schawk, Inc. v. Donruss Trading Cards, Inc. In this case, the parties disputed over a requirements contract that provided that one party provide all the prepress art services that the other party needed to print sports trading cards for five years.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
