Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (194476)
August 31, 2026
SITUATION After a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, repair-history file that will not tie to cost is the working evidence for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract. Decide whether an alternate source is technically qualified using only what repair-history file that will not tie to cost actually supports.
DECISION Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract 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 sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract, given repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 2. A sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support is the event in repair-history file that will not tie to cost that forces Fund and move materiel for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst under Defense Sustainment. 3. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost shows a one-file miss after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot decide an alternate source is yet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract can defend.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst.
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 sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). If repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract does not have.
