DI-MGMT-80969 Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that establishes requirements for a Production Surge Plan deliverable in federal contracts.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaration of war or mobilization. The plan is required when a contract specifies production surge capability for select critical items. The document is approved for public release with unlimited distribution and was issued by the Air Force Materiel Command/Fighter Directorate (A/AMOCOM/FD) on February 4, 1990, with OMB approval number 0704-0188.

The Production Surge Plan shall include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a month-by-month buildup schedule and evidence that vertical planning has been completed; two separate lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume, including those items that are long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production; a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions or surged items, including contract numbers and Defense Materials System priorities; an impact assessment describing effects 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 inventory rolling stock within six months and substitute materials; and a list of production equipment and tooling needed, with estimated costs and impact on surge production rate and leadtime, limited to information for developing additional surge capability only.
