Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified from contract

SITUATION DLA item manager's data counterpart owns an alternate source is inside a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data with contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern as the only packet. A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is what reset the timeline for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

DECISION DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is the one a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is adjacent only to a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. A contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data already contained a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract before contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 2. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern. 3. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern against a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is for DLA item manager's data counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what DLA item manager's data counterpart does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on an alternate source is, then the evidence in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern, then the action for DLA item manager's data counterpart - Hypothesis scorecard against contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern: supported / rejected / untestable - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern that a second reviewer can re-perform - Missing page in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract, if any
