SITUATION In a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data, alternate-source qualification packet is the evidence after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract. DLA item manager's data counterpart has to pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute for this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence close using alternate-source qualification packet.

DECISION DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. DLA item manager's data counterpart can defend Fund and move materiel from alternate-source qualification packet after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract in a Defense Sustainment challenge. 2. DLA item manager's data counterpart cannot defend Fund and move materiel from alternate-source qualification packet; Cannibalize or substitute is what the extract actually supports after a TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract. 3. A TDP that is marked incomplete but still on contract never reached the population in alternate-source qualification packet — reopen intake, do not close cost history can support. 4.
