Assess whether to repair organically, buy, or qualify an alternate (543a64)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources now turns on to repair organically, buy, because a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support put depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should say what depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers proves.

DECISION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose To repair organically, buy, / Qualify an alternate using depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize To repair organically, buy, now; depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers already has the discriminator after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Keep Qualify an alternate in force until depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers is completed after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support for repair-vs-buy decision support lead. 3. Treat depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers as To repair organically, buy, because both readings appear after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: repair-vs-buy decision support lead does not have the decision to repair organically, buy, turns on in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers. 2. Quantify mission impact if to repair organically, buy, is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 3. Reconcile depot demand in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move to repair organically, buy, for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

RECOMMENDATION Choose To repair organically, buy, / Qualify an alternate on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support). If depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop.
