DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that outlines the requirements for a Production Surge Plan, identified as DI-MGMT-80969. The document specifies how contractors must detail their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition, without requiring war declaration or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with leadtimes; identification of critical/pacing items; list of relevant government contracts that could be surged with their priorities; impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business; skilled labor requirements; strategic/critical materials inventory needs with six-month sustainability; and equipment/tooling requirements that could increase surge capacity by at least 10%. The contractor must provide their plan in their own format, addressing all these elements while considering impacts on subcontractor tiers and vertical planning requirements. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and is used in conjunction with DI-P-7046 for Industrial Preparedness Planning.
