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 scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN after buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master.
HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. The population in scrap-and-condemnation spike on one NSN is the one buys against a cancelled spec still in the parts master named, so Fund and move materiel follows for this Depot Procurement Intelligence file. 2.
