Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (980977)

SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources now turns on cost history can support because UCAs older than the local policy cap put BOM that still lists a cancelled spec in play. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should say what BOM that still lists a cancelled spec proves.

DECISION Repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using BOM that still lists a cancelled spec after UCAs older than the local policy cap.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Authorize Fund and move materiel now; BOM that still lists a cancelled spec already has the discriminator after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 2. Keep Cannibalize or substitute in force until BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is completed after UCAs older than the local policy cap for repair-vs-buy decision support lead. 3. Treat BOM that still lists a cancelled spec as Defer a cycle because both readings appear after UCAs older than the local policy cap. 4. Refuse a Defense Sustainment close: repair-vs-buy decision support lead does not have the decision cost history can support turns on in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read BOM that still lists a cancelled spec against UCAs older than the local policy cap and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for repair-vs-buy decision support lead.

RECOMMENDATION The actionable close on BOM that still lists a cancelled spec is Fund and move materiel if UCAs older than the local policy cap left a complete Depot Procurement Intelligence trail; otherwise Cannibalize or substitute. Repair-vs-buy decision support lead should cite the specific line in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec that settles cost history can support before anyone else acts in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, then the evidence in BOM that still lists a cancelled spec, then the action for repair-vs-buy decision support lead - Hypothesis scorecard against BOM that still lists a cancelled spec: 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 repair-vs-buy decision support lead in an engineering support activity reviewing alternate sources
