Assess whether the contract vehicle is being used as intended (f023c7)

SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has one working extract — repair-history file that will not tie to cost — after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock. If repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot support the contract vehicle 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 repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost reads as Fund and move materiel once a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in repair-history file that will not tie to cost for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost is missing the fact repair-vs-buy decision support lead needs after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

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 repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 3. Quantify mission impact if the contract vehicle is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock 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 (repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock). If repair-history file that will not tie to cost 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 the contract vehicle is, then the evidence in repair-history file that will not tie to cost, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against repair-history file that will not tie to cost: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources - What changes the contract vehicle is if a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock is later withdrawn
