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 contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern after UCAs older than the local policy cap.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern reads as Fund and move materiel once UCAs older than the local policy cap is lined up to the same Defense Sustainment population. 2. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is closer to Cannibalize or substitute after UCAs older than the local policy cap; 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 vendor-base mapper in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround. 4. Contract vehicle vs. actual buy pattern is missing the fact vendor-base mapper needs after UCAs older than the local policy cap; 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 unpriced actions should be stopped is deferred one cycle in a sustainment cell after a failed repair turnaround. 4.
