Repair-vs-buy decision support lead must resolve whether TDP is complete

Situation

After a BPA used for what looks like a major end item, lead-time outlier report 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 lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in lead-time outlier report is the one a BPA used for what looks like a major end item named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
• The population in lead-time outlier report is adjacent only to a BPA used for what looks like a major end item; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call.
• An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained a BPA used for what looks like a major end item before lead-time outlier report arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path.
• Provenance on lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

Analysis required

• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in lead-time outlier report.
• Quantify mission impact if TDP is complete enough is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
• Reconcile depot demand in lead-time outlier report to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against a BPA used for what looks like a major end item and write the one fact that would move TDP is complete enough 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 (lead-time outlier report after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option lead-time outlier report can support after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
