DID 80969 Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that prescribes the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan, a deliverable required under federal contracts involving defense manufacturing or supply.

The Production Surge Plan (DI-MGMT-80969) delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production of critical items utilizing existing facilities and equipment without declaring war or mobilization and without invoking emergency war powers. The plan must include the maximum sustainable production rate with a production buildup schedule by month until that rate is achieved, incorporating subcontractor and vendor capability assessment and vertical planning verification. The contractor must provide two separate lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume, with emphasis on long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production, along with subcontractor identification and tier levels. Additionally, the plan requires a list of Government contracts at the facility eligible for production surge provision, including contract numbers, items, and Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities Systems priorities. The contractor must also describe surging impacts on other Government contracts and the ability to surge in parallel, identify additional skilled labor requirements, list strategic or critical materials and precious metals needed with rolling inventory data, and provide a list of production equipment, tooling, and costs that if acquired would increase surge capacity by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime. The DID was approved on February 14, 2019, and is applicable to contracts requiring production surge capability.
