DID 80969.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan with the identification number DI-MGMT-80969. The purpose of the Production Surge Plan is to delineate a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization, and prepare for subsequent use of emergency war powers.

The document outlines specific requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including detailing the maximum sustainable production rate, creating lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, identifying potential production bottlenecks, and documenting the impact of surging production on other government contracts. Key elements include developing lists of items by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and critical or pacing components, identifying additional labor requirements, listing strategic or critical materials needed, and documenting production equipment that could increase production rate or reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent. The document is marked for public release with unlimited distribution and supersedes a previous version (DI-P-1634A).
