Whether a cancelled spec is still being bought as if current from contract

Situation

Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA now turns on a cancelled spec is because a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract put contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern in play. NSN research lead should say what contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern 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 contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

Hypotheses to test

• Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern reads as Fund and move materiel once a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population.
• Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract.
• Defer a cycle is still live in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern for NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
• Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is missing the fact NSN research lead needs after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

Analysis required

• Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count.
• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern.
• Quantify mission impact if a cancelled spec is is deferred one cycle in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.
• 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 a cancelled spec is for NSN research lead.

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). If contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent pages a depot whose parts master does not match DLA does not have.
