The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or activating emergency powers. The plan is required for contracts where production surge capability for select critical items is necessary and may be used independently or alongside DI-P-7046 (Industrial Preparedness Planning Data). The plan must include: (1) the maximum sustainable production rate with a month-by-month buildup schedule, considering subcontractor and vendor capabilities; (2) two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume of long-leadtime or critical items; (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions, identifying contract numbers, items, and Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities Systems priorities; (4) the impact of surging this contract on other Government contracts and vice versa, and on the contractor's commercial business; (5) additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production; (6) strategic or critical materials and precious metals required, including rolling inventory for six-month surge capacity and substitute materials; and (7) production equipment, tooling, and costs needed to increase surge production capability by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime.
