Assess whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current (623186)

SITUATION NSN research lead must settle whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current because a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract hit a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. The evidence on hand is alternate-source qualification packet; name the Defense Sustainment option that file actually supports.

DECISION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Alternate-source qualification packet lines up with a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract for Fund and move materiel on a cancelled spec is; NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA can execute that path. 2. Alternate-source qualification packet conflicts with a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract for Fund and move materiel, so Cannibalize or substitute is the Defense Sustainment move on this Depot Procurement Intelligence packet. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. would move a cancelled spec is only if it appears in alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract. 4. NSN research lead should treat alternate-source qualification packet as incomplete for a cancelled spec is rather than borrow a label from another a depot whose parts master does not match DLA file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in alternate-source qualification packet. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec is for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION The actionable close on alternate-source qualification packet is Fund and move materiel if a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract left a complete Depot Procurement Intelligence trail; otherwise Cannibalize or substitute. NSN research lead should cite the specific line in alternate-source qualification packet that settles a cancelled spec is before anyone else acts in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a cancelled spec is, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in alternate-source qualification packet that a second reviewer can re-perform - Missing page in alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract, if any
