Assess whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk from alternate-source

SITUATION After a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract, alternate-source qualification packet is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead can touch in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Defense Sustainment will live with Fund and move materiel versus Cannibalize or substitute on this 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 alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in alternate-source qualification packet is the one a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in alternate-source qualification packet is adjacent only to a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract before alternate-source qualification packet arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract. 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 a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract 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 a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract). If alternate-source qualification packet 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.

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 - What changes a DMSMS hit is if a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
