Assess whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk (accab3)

SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has one working extract — alternate-source qualification packet — after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master. If alternate-source qualification packet cannot support a DMSMS hit is, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.

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 alternate-source qualification packet after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, given alternate-source qualification packet. 2. Buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master is the event in alternate-source qualification packet that forces Fund and move materiel for repair-vs-buy decision support lead under Defense Sustainment. 3. Alternate-source qualification packet shows a one-file miss after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Alternate-source qualification packet cannot decide a DMSMS hit is yet after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master and write the one fact that would move a DMSMS hit is 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 (alternate-source qualification packet after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a DMSMS hit is, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Missing page in alternate-source qualification packet after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master, if any - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite
