Assess whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current (8c466e)
August 31, 2026
SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract now turns on a cancelled spec is because a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN put alternate-source qualification packet in play. Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst should say what alternate-source qualification packet proves.
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 alternate-source qualification packet after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; alternate-source qualification packet already has the discriminator after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until alternate-source qualification packet is completed after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst. 3. Treat alternate-source qualification packet as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: obsolescence and DMSMS analyst does not have the decision a cancelled spec is turns on in alternate-source qualification packet.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Quantify mission impact if a cancelled spec is is deferred one cycle in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract. 2. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 3. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec is 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 (alternate-source qualification packet after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). If alternate-source qualification packet cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract does not have.
COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on a cancelled spec is, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Named option among Fund and move materiel, Cannibalize or substitute, Defer a cycle and the fact that kills the others - Owner and next date for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract
