DID 80969 Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed instructions for creating a Production Surge Plan that outlines a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include specific details such as: maximum sustainable production rate with a building schedule, two comprehensive lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components (including nomenclature, part numbers, leadtime, and critical/pacing items), a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, impact analysis on other contracts, additional labor requirements, lists of strategic/critical materials and production equipment, and potential surge rate increases. The plan is designed to help contractors demonstrate their ability to increase production capabilities, identify potential bottlenecks, and provide flexible manufacturing readiness in response to potential surge requirements.
