Assess whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk (017869)
August 31, 2026
SITUATION An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes in hand following a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead must determine whether a DMSMS hit is already a stock-out risk for this Defense Sustainment 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 vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes is the one a new source that has never made this form-fit-function named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes is adjacent only to a new source that has never made this form-fit-function; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a new source that has never made this form-fit-function before vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes. 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 vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes against a new source that has never made this form-fit-function 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 (vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function). If vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes 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.
