Whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call from contract

Situation

Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract now turns on cost history can support because a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN put contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern in play. Obsolescence and DMSMS analyst should say what contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern proves.

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 contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

Hypotheses to test

• The population in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is the one a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file.
• The population in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is adjacent only to a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call.
• A workload that shifted from organic repair to contract already contained a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN before contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path.
• Provenance on contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is broken; do not pick Fund and move materiel or Cannibalize or substitute yet.

Analysis required

• Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern.
• Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract.
• Reconcile depot demand in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.
• For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN 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 (contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). If contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent pages a workload that shifted from organic repair to contract does not have.
