SITUATION A new source that has never made this form-fit-function put NSN demand-and-backorder extract in front of repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. This Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence decision is the contract vehicle is from NSN demand-and-backorder extract, and the live options are Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle.
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 NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function supports Fund and move materiel for the contract vehicle is if repair-vs-buy decision support lead can match the same Depot Procurement Intelligence population in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 2. NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function is closer to Cannibalize or substitute; calling Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Defense Sustainment extract. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move NSN demand-and-backorder extract. is still a live third reading of NSN demand-and-backorder extract that repair-vs-buy decision support lead has not closed. 4. NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function does not yet name the fact the contract vehicle is turns on, so repair-vs-buy decision support lead should leave Defense Sustainment unresolved.
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 new source that has never made this form-fit-function and write the one fact that would move the contract vehicle 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 (NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function). If NSN demand-and-backorder extract 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.
