Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for DLA item manager's data counterpart.
