DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by number DI-MGMT-80969. The DID provides a standardized format and content preparation instructions for contractors to develop a plan demonstrating their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment or subsequent emergency scenarios.

The document outlines specific requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including: detailing the maximum sustainable production rate with a production building schedule, creating two comprehensive lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, identifying potential surge impacts, listing additional skilled labor requirements, documenting strategic or critical materials needed, and inventorying production equipment. The plan must address production/delivery of components, potential bottlenecks, and include details on tooling, equipment costs, and potential production rate increases. The document is intended to help contractors demonstrate their surge production capabilities for government contracts and provides a systematic approach to surge planning across different tiers of subcontractors.
