Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (a354f1)

SITUATION Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst is responsible for cost history can support in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract, using alternate-source qualification packet as the only working extract. A new source that has never made this form-fit-function is what reset the timeline for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file.

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 new source that has never made this form-fit-function.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A new source that has never made this form-fit-function is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract, given alternate-source qualification packet. 2. A new source that has never made this form-fit-function is the event in alternate-source qualification packet that forces Fund and move materiel for obsolescence and DMSMS analyst under Defense Sustainment. 3. Alternate-source qualification packet shows a one-file miss after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Alternate-source qualification packet cannot decide cost history can support yet after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Reconcile depot demand in alternate-source qualification packet to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function. 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 new source that has never made this form-fit-function and write the one fact that would move cost history can support 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 new source that has never made this form-fit-function). The follow-on Depot Procurement Intelligence action is what obsolescence and DMSMS analyst does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, 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
