Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (8e182b)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources now turns on an alternate source is because buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master put BOM that still lists a cancelled spec in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should say what BOM that still lists a cancelled spec proves.

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 BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec reads as Fund and move materiel once buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is missing the fact repair-vs-buy decision support lead needs after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master 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 (BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: supported / rejected / untestable - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others - Owner and next date for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources
