Assess whether TDP is complete enough to compete the work (2a9ca3)

Situation

NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA has one working extract — vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes — after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master. If vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes cannot support TDP is complete enough, the honest Defense Sustainment output is hold.

Decision

NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.

Hypotheses to test

• NSN research lead can defend Fund and move materiel from vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master in a Defense Sustainment challenge.
• NSN research lead cannot defend Fund and move materiel from vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.
• Buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master never reached the population in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes — reopen intake, do not close TDP is complete enough.
• Two facts in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master conflict for NSN research lead; hold this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

Analysis required

• Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes.
• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes against buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master and write the one fact that would move TDP is complete enough for NSN research 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 buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what NSN research lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
