Assess whether the contract vehicle is being used as intended from DMSMS

SITUATION A depot whose parts master does not match DLA cannot treat UCAs older than the local policy cap as incidental context on DMSMS alert vs. current stock position. NSN research lead must close the contract vehicle is from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

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 DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after UCAs older than the local policy cap.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. DMSMS alert vs. current stock position reads as Fund and move materiel once UCAs older than the local policy cap is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after UCAs older than the local policy cap; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. 4. DMSMS alert vs. current stock position is missing the fact NSN research lead needs after UCAs older than the local policy cap; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move DMSMS alert vs. current stock position. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read DMSMS alert vs. current stock position against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move the contract vehicle is for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (DMSMS alert vs. current stock position after UCAs older than the local policy cap). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what NSN research lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on the contract vehicle is, then the evidence in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against DMSMS alert vs. current stock position: supported / rejected / untestable - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in DMSMS alert vs. current stock position that a second reviewer can re-perform
