Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (66c167)

SITUATION A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract put NSN demand-and-backorder extract in front of DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data. This Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence close is cost history can support from NSN demand-and-backorder extract, and the live options are Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle.

DECISION DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data, given NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 2. A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is the event in NSN demand-and-backorder extract that forces Fund and move materiel for DLA item manager's data counterpart under Defense Sustainment. 3. NSN demand-and-backorder extract shows a one-file miss after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. NSN demand-and-backorder extract cannot decide cost history can support yet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data. 2. Reconcile depot demand in NSN demand-and-backorder extract to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for DLA item manager's data counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract). If NSN demand-and-backorder extract cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data does not have.
