DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

The document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by number DI-MGMT-80969. The purpose of this document is to outline a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must comprehensively detail key elements including: the maximum sustainable production rate, critical components with potential surge impacts, labor requirements, strategic materials, and production equipment. Specific requirements include creating two lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with details like nomenclature, part number, lead time, and critical pacing items. The plan must also describe potential impacts on current Government contracts, identify additional skilled labor needs, list strategic or critical materials, and outline production equipment and tooling that could increase production capacity. The document is intended to provide a structured approach for contractors to demonstrate their surge production capabilities across multiple dimensions of manufacturing readiness.
