DID (DI_ MGMT _80969) 4229645_ATTACH.pdf

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

The Production Surge Plan must include specific components such as the maximum sustainable production rate, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, production schedule, critical leadtime and pacing items, and potential impact on other government contracts. Key requirements include identifying additional skilled labor needs, strategic or critical materials, production equipment, and potential surge capabilities. The plan should detail how a contractor can increase production rate, reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent, and provide flexibility for rapid production scaling within current facility limitations.
