DID_80969.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified with the number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides a standardized format and preparation instructions for contractors to demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include specific details such as the maximum sustainable production rate, building schedules, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, potential production bottlenecks, and critical logistics considerations. Contractors are required to detail the impact of surging production on other government contracts, identify additional skilled labor requirements, list strategic or critical materials needed, and outline production equipment that could increase production rate or reduce lead times by at least 10 percent. The document is marked for unlimited distribution and supersedes a previous version (DI-P-1634A).
