DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, with the identification number DI-MGMT-80969. The purpose of the Production Surge Plan is to delineate a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The document outlines specific requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including detailing the maximum sustainable production rate, identifying critical or long-lead items/components with potential surge impact, listing subcontracted and non-subcontracted items, and documenting Government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility. Key elements include providing data on production constraints, surge impacts, additional labor requirements, strategic materials, and production equipment. The plan must address potential impacts on current and other Government contracts, labor needs, material requirements, and production capabilities, with the goal of developing a comprehensive surge planning approach for select items.
