This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that establishes requirements for a Production Surge Plan as a contractual deliverable. The DID, identified as DI-MGMT-80969, is approved for public release and is applicable to contracts requiring production surge capability assessment.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization. The plan must include: (1) maximum sustainable production rate with a buildup schedule to achieve that rate, accounting for subcontractor and vendor capacity; (2) two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production buildup of long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production rates, with vendor identification; (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions or cold production capability; (4) analysis of surging impact on other Government contracts and the contractor's commercial business; (5) additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production; (6) a list of strategic, critical, or precious materials and metals required for production, including rolling inventory needed within six months and substitute material options; and (7) production equipment, tooling, and costs down to the lowest-tier subcontractor level that would increase surge production capacity by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime, with estimated impacts on surge rate and leadtime. The plan supersedes DI-P-1634A and may be used independently or in conjunction with the Industrial Preparedness Planning (IPP) Data form.
