Whether an alternate source is technically qualified from repair-history file

Situation

Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has one working extract — repair-history file that will not tie to cost — after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item. If repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot support an alternate source is, the honest Defense Sustainment output is hold.

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 repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is the one a BPA used for what looks like a major end item named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
• The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is adjacent only to a BPA used for what looks like a major end item; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call.
• An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a BPA used for what looks like a major end item before repair-history file that will not tie to cost arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path.
• Provenance on repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

Analysis required

• Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost.
• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in repair-history file that will not tie to cost.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a BPA used for what looks like a major end item 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 (repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option repair-history file that will not tie to cost can support after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item, 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.
