Assess whether the contract vehicle is being used as intended (d5b8f6)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA now turns on the contract vehicle is because a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support put alternate-source qualification packet in play. NSN research lead should say what alternate-source qualification packet 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 alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; alternate-source qualification packet already has the discriminator after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until alternate-source qualification packet is completed after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support for NSN research lead. 3. Treat alternate-source qualification packet as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: NSN research lead does not have the decision the contract vehicle is turns on in alternate-source qualification packet.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move alternate-source qualification packet. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read alternate-source qualification packet against a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support and write the one fact that would move the contract vehicle is for NSN research lead.

RECOMMENDATION The actionable close on alternate-source qualification packet is Fund and move materiel if a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support left a complete Depot Procurement Intelligence trail; otherwise Cannibalize or substitute. NSN research lead should cite the specific line in alternate-source qualification packet that settles the contract vehicle is before anyone else acts in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on the contract vehicle is, then the evidence in alternate-source qualification packet, then the action for NSN research lead - Hypothesis scorecard against alternate-source qualification packet: supported / rejected / untestable - Depot Procurement Intelligence finding in alternate-source qualification packet that a second reviewer can re-perform - Missing page in alternate-source qualification packet after a sole-source claim the CAGE file does not support, if any
