The plan must be submitted in the contractor's format and includes seven key content requirements: (1) the maximum sustainable production rate with a bullish schedule by month until achievement, including verification of vertical planning that accounts for subcontractor or 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; (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions or cold spare reasonably presumed to be surged, identifying contract number, items, and Defense Priorities System assignments; (4) impact analysis on performance of other Government contracts and the contractor's commercial business; (5) identification of additional skilled labor requirements to support maximum sustainable production rates; (6) lists of strategic or critical materials and precious metals required, including rolling inventory needs; and (7) lists of tooling, equipment, and associated costs down to the lowest subcontractor tier necessary to increase surge production capability by at least 10 percent. The DID is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.
