Assess whether unpriced actions should be stopped (2f08d8)
August 31, 2026
SITUATION Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract has one working extract — lead-time outlier report — after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. If lead-time outlier report cannot support unpriced actions should be stopped, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.
DECISION Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using lead-time outlier report after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; lead-time outlier report already has the discriminator after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until lead-time outlier report is completed after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst. 3. Treat lead-time outlier report as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: obsolescence and DMSMS analyst does not have the decision unpriced actions should be stopped turns on in lead-time outlier report.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in lead-time outlier report to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move lead-time outlier report. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read lead-time outlier report against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move unpriced actions should be stopped for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst.
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 sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what obsolescence and DMSMS analyst 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 lead-time outlier report, then the action for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst - Hypothesis scorecard against lead-time outlier report: supported / rejected / untestable - Regulatory or exam hook Depot Procurement Intelligence would cite - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in lead-time outlier report that a second reviewer can re-perform
