Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (aa52dc)

SITUATION Alternate-source qualification packet arrived with a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support for vendor-base mapper. That is a Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence decision on cost history can support in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround.

DECISION Vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; alternate-source qualification packet already has the discriminator after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until alternate-source qualification packet is completed after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support for vendor-base mapper. 3. Treat alternate-source qualification packet as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: vendor-base mapper does not have the decision cost history can support turns on in alternate-source qualification packet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in alternate-source qualification packet. 2. Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround. 3. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet 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 alternate-source qualification packet against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for vendor-base mapper.

RECOMMENDATION Vendor-base mapper owns cost history can support on alternate-source qualification packet in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround. After a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using only what this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence packet proves. If alternate-source qualification packet is silent on the discriminator after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, vendor-base mapper must do not move materiel or funding on a count the depot file cannot reconstruct rather than reuse a label from another Depot Procurement Intelligence packet.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for vendor-base mapper - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in alternate-source qualification packet that a second reviewer can re-perform - Missing page in alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, if any
