DID_80969 Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document for a Production Surge Plan, identified as DI-MGMT-80969, approved by the Office of Primary Responsibility (A/AMOCM/FD) on February 14, 2019. The document establishes format and content preparation instructions for contractors to demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production of critical items utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include six primary components: (1) the maximum sustainable production rate with a monthly buildup schedule until peak capacity is achieved, including subcontractor and vendor capability assessment; (2) two itemized lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volumes, with particular emphasis on long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production, down to the lowest necessary subcontractor tier; (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with surge provisions, including contract numbers, items, and Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities System designations; (4) identification of the impact surging would have on current Government contracts and the contractor's commercial business; (5) all additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production; and (6) identification of strategic or critical materials, precious metals, substitute materials, and production equipment needed to achieve surge capability within current facility limitations, including rolling inventory requirements and estimated cost increases. The document supersedes DI-P-1634A and is applicable to contracts where production surge capability for select critical items is required.
