August 31, 2026
SITUATION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA has one working extract — NSN demand-and-backorder extract — after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock. If NSN demand-and-backorder extract cannot support the contract vehicle is, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.
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 NSN demand-and-backorder extract after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; NSN demand-and-backorder extract already has the discriminator after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until NSN demand-and-backorder extract is completed after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock for NSN research lead. 3. Treat NSN demand-and-backorder extract as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: NSN research lead does not have the decision the contract vehicle is turns on in NSN demand-and-backorder extract.
ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 2. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in NSN demand-and-backorder extract. 3.

For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read NSN demand-and-backorder extract against a OEM end-of-life notice with 90 days of stock and write the one fact that would move the contract vehicle is for NSN research lead.
