Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (c61a0e)

SITUATION Vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround has one working extract — depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers — after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item. If depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers cannot support cost history can support, the only defensible Defense Sustainment output is hold.

DECISION Vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A BPA used for what looks like a major end item is noise around an already-controlled Depot Procurement Intelligence process in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround, given depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers. 2. A BPA used for what looks like a major end item is the event in depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers that forces Fund and move materiel for vendor-base mapper under Defense Sustainment. 3. Depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers shows a one-file miss after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item, not a Depot Procurement Intelligence program failure. 4. Depot transaction file with duplicate document numbers cannot decide cost history can support yet after a BPA used for what looks like a major end item; hold is the only Defense Sustainment close a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround can defend.
