DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document (DI-MGMT-80969) is a Data Item Description that defines the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan to be submitted by contractors. The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition without requiring war mobilization.

The plan must include specific elements: maximum sustainable production rates with buildup schedules, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with leadtimes, a list of government contracts that could be surged, impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business, skilled labor requirements, strategic/critical materials needs, and production equipment details. The plan must identify any tooling or equipment that could increase surge production by at least 10% and include rolling inventory requirements for maintaining surge production within six months. The document specifies that the contractor may use their own format but must address all required content areas to demonstrate their ability to accelerate production/delivery while considering subcontractor and vendor capabilities.
