This is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified as DI-MGMT-80969, approved by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology). The document is applicable for contracts requiring production surge capability.

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 be submitted in the contractor's format and consist of: (1) the maximum sustainable rate of production including a monthly schedule through achievement of that rate, incorporating subcontractor and vendor capability to accelerate production and delivery of components and materials; (2) two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production status, with particular focus on long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production, flowing down to the appropriate subcontractor tier level; and (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions or potential surge capability, including contract number, item(s), and relevant Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities System priorities. Additional required elements include impact analysis on other Government contracts and commercial business, identification of additional skilled labor requirements, a list of strategic or critical materials and precious metals with rolling inventory data and substitutes, and a list of production equipment and tooling with associated costs and estimated increases in surge production rate capability. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and may be used independently or with, but not in lieu of, DI-P-7046 (Industrial Preparedness Planning Data). The AMSC number is A4923.
