DECISION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Alternate-source qualification packet reads as Fund and move materiel once a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2.

Defer a cycle is still live in alternate-source qualification packet for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. Alternate-source qualification packet is missing the fact repair-vs-buy decision support lead needs after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option alternate-source qualification packet can support after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Missing page in alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, if any - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite
