DID_80969.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, with the identification number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed instructions for creating a comprehensive plan that demonstrates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include specific elements such as the maximum sustainable production rate, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, critical components that could impact production, labor requirements, strategic or critical materials, and production equipment. The plan should identify contract numbers, items, leadtimes, critical or pacing items, and potential surge production impacts. Contractors must detail how they can increase production rates, address skilled labor needs, manage material inventory, and outline potential tooling and equipment investments to support surge production capabilities.
