The document specifies detailed requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including: developing a maximum sustainable production rate building schedule, creating two comprehensive lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with details like nomenclature and part numbers, identifying government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, describing potential surge impacts, listing additional skilled labor requirements, and documenting strategic materials and production equipment needed to support surge production. The plan must provide a statement verifying vertical planning has been completed and include details on how surge production could increase capabilities by at least 10 percent within current facility limitations.
