Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (9a422b)

SITUATION In an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers is the evidence after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers.

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 depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, given depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers. 2. A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is the event in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers that forces Fund and move materiel for repair-vs-buy decision support lead under Defense Sustainment. 3. Depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers shows a one-file miss after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers cannot decide cost history can support yet after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 2. Reconcile depot demand in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers 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 depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers against a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x). If depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources does not have.
