This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that specifies requirements for a Production Surge Plan deliverable in federal contracts. Identification number DI-MGMT-80969, approved February 14, 2019, the document outlines the format and content requirements for contractors to demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production of existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or invoking mobilization powers.

The Production Surge Plan must include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a month-by-month buildup schedule; two separate lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume of long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production; a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility that have production surge provisions or are presumed to be surged, with contract numbers, items, and Defense Materials System/Defense Priorities System priorities; the impact of surging this contract on other Government contracts and the contractor's commercial business; additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production; identification of strategic or critical materials and precious metals required, including rolling inventory to maintain surge production within six months and substitute materials; and a list of tooling, equipment, and costs needed to increase surge production capacity by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime as specified within current facility limitations. The plan applies to contracts requiring production surge capability for select critical items and supersedes DI-P-1634A.
