HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes is the one a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes is adjacent only to a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. A workload that shifted from organic repair to contract already contained a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support before vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.
