This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed guidelines for contractors to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment or subsequent emergency war periods.

The Production Surge Plan requires contractors to document key production details, including: maximum sustainable production rates, critical components with potential surge impacts, required skilled labor and materials, strategic planning for production capability, and lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components. The plan must include production buildup timelines, critical component identification, potential surge impacts on government contracts, additional labor requirements, strategic material needs, and an inventory of production equipment and tooling that could increase production capabilities.
