August 31, 2026 · SmartSolo
Situation
Repair-vs-buy decision support lead owns cost history can support inside an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources with BOM that still lists a cancelled spec as the only packet. A new source that has never made this form-fit-function is what changed the clock for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
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 BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
Hypotheses to test
- Authorize Fund and move materiel now; BOM that still lists a cancelled spec already has the discriminator after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
- Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is completed after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

Analysis required
- Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
- Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec.
- Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
- For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against a new source that has never made this form-fit-function and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

Lead with the Defense Sustainment option BOM that still lists a cancelled spec can support after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
