Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified from BOM that

SITUATION The working file is BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source has to name Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

DECISION Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec 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. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; 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 Hill AF logistics data reviewer in a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source. 4. BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is missing the fact Hill AF logistics data reviewer needs after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

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 a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for Hill AF logistics data reviewer.

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 sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what Hill AF logistics data reviewer 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 Hill AF logistics data reviewer - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: supported / rejected / untestable - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec that a second reviewer can re-perform - Missing page in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, if any
