DID_80969.pdf

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

The DID specifies that the Production Surge Plan must include: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with leadtimes and production buildups; a list of government contracts that could be impacted by surge requirements; labor requirements for skilled workers; lists of strategic/critical materials and precious metals needed; and production equipment/tooling requirements. The plan must detail impacts on other contracts, commercial business operations, and include rolling inventory requirements to maintain surge production within six months. The document supersedes DI-P-1634A and requires contractors to show how they can increase production rates by at least 10% within current facility limitations.
