Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (4f60d0)

SITUATION After a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead can touch in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Defense Sustainment will live with Fund and move materiel versus Cannibalize or substitute on this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN 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. Scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN 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 scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. Scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN is missing the fact repair-vs-buy decision support lead needs after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN. 2. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 3. Reconcile depot demand in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support 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 (scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN can support after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, 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.
