SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead received alternate-source qualification packet after UCAs older than the local policy cap in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute must follow from that extract if the file can settle whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk.
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 UCAs older than the local policy cap.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; alternate-source qualification packet already has the discriminator after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 2.

Quantify mission impact if a DMSMS hit is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 3. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 4.

Record the missing fact in alternate-source qualification packet before anyone treats a DMSMS hit is as closed.
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supported / rejected / untestable - What changes a DMSMS hit is if UCAs older than the local policy cap is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
