Assess whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current (7f6788)

SITUATION The working file is NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data has to name Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

DECISION DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; NSN demand-and-backorder extract already has the discriminator after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until NSN demand-and-backorder extract is completed after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN for DLA item manager's data counterpart. 3. Treat NSN demand-and-backorder extract as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: DLA item manager's data counterpart does not have the decision a cancelled spec is turns on in NSN demand-and-backorder extract.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec is for DLA item manager's data counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what DLA item manager's data counterpart does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a cancelled spec is, then the evidence in NSN demand-and-backorder extract, then the action for DLA item manager's data counterpart - Hypothesis scorecard against NSN demand-and-backorder extract: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data - What changes a cancelled spec is if a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is later withdrawn
