SITUATION Vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes arrived with a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x for repair-vs-buy decision support lead. That is a Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence decision on the contract vehicle is in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
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 vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes already has the discriminator after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes is completed after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x for repair-vs-buy decision support lead. 3. Treat vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: repair-vs-buy decision support lead does not have the decision the contract vehicle is turns on in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if the contract vehicle is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 2. Reconcile depot demand in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes. 4.
