Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (097f6e)
August 31, 2026
SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources now turns on an alternate source is because UCAs older than the local policy cap put scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should say what scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN proves.
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 UCAs older than the local policy cap.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN is the one UCAs older than the local policy cap named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN is adjacent only to UCAs older than the local policy cap; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained UCAs older than the local policy cap before scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN after UCAs older than the local policy cap is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.
RECOMMENDATION Fund and move materiel is the Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence move when scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN lines up with UCAs older than the local policy cap for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Cannibalize or substitute is the move when that alignment in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN fails. Record the missing fact in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN before anyone treats an alternate source is as closed.
COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN: supported / rejected / untestable - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others - Owner and next date for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources
