Assess whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current (8d07b1)

SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has one working extract — lead-time outlier report — after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item. If lead-time outlier report cannot support a cancelled spec is, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.

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 lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Lead-time outlier report lines up with a BPA used for what looks like a major end item for Fund and move materiel on a cancelled spec is; repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources can execute that path. 2. Lead-time outlier report conflicts with a BPA used for what looks like a major end item for Fund and move materiel, so Cannibalize or substitute is the Defense Sustainment move on this Depot Procurement Intelligence packet. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. would move a cancelled spec is only if it appears in lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item. 4. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should treat lead-time outlier report as incomplete for a cancelled spec is rather than borrow a label from another an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 2. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in lead-time outlier report. 3. Quantify mission impact if a cancelled spec is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against a BPA used for what looks like a major end item and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec 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 (lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item). If lead-time outlier report cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources does not have.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a cancelled spec is, then the evidence in lead-time outlier report, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against lead-time outlier report: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes a cancelled spec is if a BPA used for what looks like a major end item is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
