SITUATION Hill AF logistics data reviewer owns cost history can support inside a program office facing a diminishing-manufacturing source with DMSMS alert vs. current stock position as the only packet. A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is what reset the timeline for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
