Assess whether cost history can support a fair-and-reasonable call (2c4a9f)

SITUATION A contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data cannot treat a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN as incidental context on repair-history file that will not tie to cost. DLA item manager's data counterpart must close cost history can support from that extract under Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence.

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 repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost 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. 2. The population in repair-history file that will not tie to cost is adjacent only to a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN; Cannibalize or substitute is the honest Defense Sustainment call. 3. A contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data already contained a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN before repair-history file that will not tie to cost arrived; no new Depot Procurement Intelligence path. 4. Provenance on repair-history file that will not tie to cost 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 1. Reconcile depot demand in repair-history file that will not tie to cost to fleet readiness and NSN coverage after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN. 2. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 3. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for DLA item manager's data counterpart.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold on this Defense Sustainment / Depot Procurement Intelligence packet (repair-history file that will not tie to cost after a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN). If repair-history file that will not tie to cost cannot force a Defense Sustainment label under Depot Procurement Intelligence, stop. Do not invent missing evidence a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data does not have.

COMMAND RETURNS - Bottom-line Defense Sustainment option on cost history can support, then the evidence in repair-history file that will not tie to cost, then the action for DLA item manager's data counterpart - Hypothesis scorecard against repair-history file that will not tie to cost: supported / rejected / untestable - Owner and next date for DLA item manager's data counterpart in a contracting shop mapping vendors from file-first data - What changes cost history can support if a mission-capable rate drop tied to one NSN is later withdrawn
