DI-MGMT-80969_Production_Surge_Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that outlines the requirements for a Production Surge Plan (DI-MGMT-80969). The document specifies how contractors must demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition, without requiring declaration of war or mobilization.

The DID requires contractors to provide detailed information including: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with nomenclature, part numbers, and leadtimes; critical/pacing items that could impact production; lists of current government contracts that could be surged; labor requirements for skilled workers; strategic/critical materials and precious metals needed with quantities and costs; substitute materials; and production equipment/tooling requirements that could increase surge capability by at least 10%. The plan must address impacts on other contracts, commercial business, and include rolling 6-month inventory requirements. The document supersedes DI-P-1634A and has unlimited public distribution.
