Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (f05479)

SITUATION After a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN, BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead can touch in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Defense Sustainment will live with Fund and move materiel versus Cannibalize or substitute on this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is the one a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is adjacent only to a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN before BOM that still lists a cancelled spec arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 2. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 3. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN 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 a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). 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 - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec that a second reviewer can re-perform
