Assess whether TDP is complete enough to compete the work (356177)

Situation

Depot Procurement Intelligence work in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources now turns on TDP is complete enough because a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x put vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should say what vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes proves.

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 repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x.

Hypotheses to test

• A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, given vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes.
• A repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x is the event in vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes that forces Fund and move materiel for repair-vs-buy decision support lead under Defense Sustainment.
• Vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes shows a one-file miss after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure.
• Vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes cannot decide TDP is complete enough yet after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources can defend.

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 a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x 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 (vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes after a repair cost that exceeds replacement by 3x). If vendor CAGE-to-item crosswalk with holes cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent pages an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources does not have.
