Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (eee0a6)

SITUATION BOM that still lists a cancelled spec arrived with a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x for vendor-base mapper. That is a Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence decision on an alternate source is in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround.

DECISION Vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Vendor-base mapper can defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x in a Defense Sustainment challenge. 2. Vendor-base mapper cannot defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. 3. A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x never reached the population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec — reopen intake, do not close an alternate source is. 4. Two facts in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x conflict for vendor-base mapper; hold this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 2. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround. 3. Reconcile depot demand in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for vendor-base mapper.

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 repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what vendor-base mapper 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 vendor-base mapper - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes an alternate source is if a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
