Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (9063e3)

SITUATION A new source that has never made this form-fit-function raised whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call for depot procurement-intelligence analyst at an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is incomplete relative to that question, so Hold remains live until the file is complete.

DECISION Depot procurement-intelligence analyst in an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern reads as Fund and move materiel once a new source that has never made this form-fit-function is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern for depot procurement-intelligence analyst in an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN. 4. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is missing the fact depot procurement-intelligence analyst needs after a new source that has never made this form-fit-function; stop this Defense Sustainment close.

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 contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern. 3. Quantify mission impact if cost history can support is deferred one cycle in an ALC working a shortage on a high-demand NSN. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern 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 depot procurement-intelligence analyst.
