Assess whether an alternate source is technically qualified (a56394)

SITUATION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead is responsible for an alternate source is in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources, using repair-history file that will not tie to cost as the only working extract. Buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master is what reset the timeline for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 repair-history file that will not tie to cost after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is the one buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is adjacent only to buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. An engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources already contained buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master before repair-history file that will not tie to cost arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on repair-history file that will not tie to cost after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if an alternate source is is deferred one cycle in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources. 2. Reconcile depot demand in repair-history file that will not tie to cost to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master and write the one fact that would move an alternate source is 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 (repair-history file that will not tie to cost after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master). Lead with the Defense Sustainment option repair-history file that will not tie to cost can support after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master, then the two facts that force it, then the Monday action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.
