DID_DI-MGMT-80969.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified as DI-MGMT-80969, approved by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (A/AMOCM/FD) on February 14, 2019. The DID is applicable to contracts requiring production surge capability for select critical items and is not applicable to DTIC or GIDEP systems.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or mobilization. The plan must include the maximum sustainable production rate with a month-by-month buildup schedule until achieving peak capacity, identification of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with leadtimes and production bottlenecks, lists of Government contracts at the contractor's facility that could be surged, lists of strategic or critical materials and precious metals required with rolling inventory data, and lists of production equipment and tooling that could increase surge capacity by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime. The contractor must also describe the impact of surging the contract on other Government contracts and on the contractor's commercial business, identify all additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production, and list any substitute materials that could replace strategic or critical materials. The report format is contractor-determined, and this DID supersedes DI-P-1634A. The document is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.
