DECISION Sustainment contracting specialist in a logistics IT environment with messy NSN history must choose Fund and move materiel / Cannibalize or substitute / Defer a cycle / Hold using repair-history file that will not tie to cost after document numbers that collide across two systems of record.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost reads as Fund and move materiel once document numbers that collide across two systems of record is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. Repair-history file that will not tie to cost is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after document numbers that collide across two systems of record; Fund and move materiel would over-claim this Depot Procurement Intelligence extract. 3. Defer a cycle is still live in repair-history file that will not tie to cost for sustainment contracting specialist in a logistics IT environment with messy NSN history. 4.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Trace the funding or cannibalization line that would actually move repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 2. Test whether the shortfall is materiel, maintenance posting, or a bad count. 3. Compare on-hand, due-in, and condemned quantities in repair-history file that will not tie to cost. 4. For this Defense Sustainment Depot Procurement Intelligence file, read repair-history file that will not tie to cost against document numbers that collide across two systems of record and write the one fact that would move cost history can support for sustainment contracting specialist.
