DI-MGMT-80969.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that defines the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan (DI-MGMT-80969). The document outlines how contractors must demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition, without requiring wartime mobilization powers.

The Production Surge Plan must include: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with nomenclature, part numbers, and leadtimes; list of government contracts that could be surged with associated priorities; impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business; skilled labor requirements; strategic/critical materials and precious metals inventory needs with costs; and production equipment/tooling requirements that could increase surge capability by at least 10%. The plan must consider vertical integration of components/materials from subcontractors and vendors, with all long-leadtime and critical items identified down to necessary subcontractor tiers. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and works in conjunction with Industrial Preparedness Planning requirements.
