Two facts in technical-data-package completeness checklist after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support conflict for repair-vs-buy decision support lead; hold this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in technical-data-package completeness checklist. 2. Quantify mission impact if the contract vehicle is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 3. Reconcile depot demand in technical-data-package completeness checklist to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read technical-data-package completeness checklist against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move the contract vehicle is for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.
