SITUATION Depot Procurement Intelligence work in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA now turns on to repair organically, buy, because document numbers that collide across two systems of record put alternate-source qualification packet in play. NSN research lead should say what alternate-source qualification packet proves.

DECISION NSN research lead in a depot whose parts master does not match DLA must choose To repair organically, buy, / Qualify an alternate using alternate-source qualification packet after document numbers that collide across two systems of record.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1.
