Assess whether unpriced actions should be stopped (9a679e)

SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources has one working extract — BOM that still lists a cancelled spec — after UCAs older than the local policy cap. If BOM that still lists a cancelled spec cannot support unpriced actions should be stopped, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.

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 BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead can defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap if a Defense Sustainment challenge asks for the Depot Procurement Intelligence trail. 2. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead cannot defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 3. UCAs older than the local policy cap never reached the population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec, so reopen intake instead of closing unpriced actions should be stopped. 4. Two facts in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap conflict for repair-vs-buy decision support lead; keep this Depot Procurement Intelligence file on Hold.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if unpriced actions should be stopped is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 2. Reconcile depot demand in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move unpriced actions should be stopped 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 (BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what repair-vs-buy decision support lead does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on unpriced actions should be stopped, then the evidence in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: supported / rejected / untestable - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec that a second reviewer can re-perform
