DiD_Production_Surge_Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that establishes format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan deliverable in federal contracts.

The Production Surge Plan is designed to demonstrate a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization. The plan applies to contracts where production surge capability for select critical items is required. The DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and may be used independently or in conjunction with, but not in lieu of, DI-P-7046 (Industrial Preparedness Planning Data). The Office of Primary Responsibility is A/AMOCM/FD, and the AMSC number is A4923.

The Production Surge Plan must include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a production buildup schedule by month; two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume of long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items that could adversely impact production; a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility that have production surge provisions or could be surged; impact analysis describing effects on other Government contracts currently surged and vice versa; identification of additional skilled labor requirements; a strategic materials and precious metals list with rolling inventory requirements to maintain surge production within six months, including substitute materials; and a list of production equipment and tooling, down to the lowest subcontractor tier, with estimated cost increases and leadtime decreases to achieve at least 10 percent surge production rate increase within current facility limitations.
