Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (ad1118)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA now turns on cost history can support because a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN put BOM that still lists a cancelled spec in play. NSN research lead should say what BOM that still lists a cancelled spec proves.

DECISION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is the one a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is adjacent only to a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. A depot whose parts master does not match DLA already contained a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN before BOM that still lists a cancelled spec arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option BOM that still lists a cancelled spec can support after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, then the evidence in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA - What changes cost history can support if a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is later withdrawn
