<<No buyer would want to commit to both a high price and a high fixed volume for a component that could, in future, be in surplus.>>

But isn't this essentially how futures contracts with commodities work? You purchase contracts now to assure future price and volume, taking the risk that the spot price could be lower in exchange for assuring yourself of meeting projected demand.
