Assess whether unpriced actions should be stopped (dd741b)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA now turns on unpriced actions should be stopped because UCAs older than the local policy cap put NSN demand-and-backorder extract in play. NSN research lead should say what NSN demand-and-backorder extract proves.

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 NSN demand-and-backorder extract after UCAs older than the local policy cap.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; NSN demand-and-backorder extract already has the discriminator after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until NSN demand-and-backorder extract is completed after UCAs older than the local policy cap for NSN research lead. 3. Treat NSN demand-and-backorder extract as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: NSN research lead does not have the decision unpriced actions should be stopped turns on in NSN demand-and-backorder extract.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if unpriced actions should be stopped is deferred one cycle in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. 2. Reconcile depot demand in NSN demand-and-backorder extract 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 NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move unpriced actions should be stopped 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 (NSN demand-and-backorder extract after UCAs older than the local policy cap). 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.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on unpriced actions should be stopped, then the evidence in NSN demand-and-backorder extract, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against NSN demand-and-backorder extract: supported / rejected / untestable - What changes unpriced actions should be stopped if UCAs older than the local policy cap is later withdrawn - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others
