NSN research lead should say what BOM that still lists a cancelled spec 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 BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. NSN research lead can defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap in a Defense Sustainment challenge. 2. NSN research lead cannot defend Fund and move materiel from BOM that still lists a cancelled spec; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 3. UCAs older than the local policy cap never reached the population in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec — reopen intake, do not close a cancelled spec is. 4. Two facts in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap conflict for NSN research lead; hold this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move a cancelled spec is for NSN research lead.
RECOMMENDATION Fund and move materiel is the Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence move when BOM that still lists a cancelled spec lines up with UCAs older than the local policy cap for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA. Cannibalize or substitute is the move when that alignment in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec fails. Record the missing fact in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec before anyone treats a cancelled spec is as closed.
