DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that outlines the requirements and format for contractors to prepare a Production Surge Plan. The plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peace time acquisition without requiring war declaration or mobilization.

The required content includes: maximum sustainable production rates with monthly buildup schedules; lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with nomenclature, part numbers, and leadtimes; lists of government contracts that could be surged with associated priorities; impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business; skilled labor requirements; strategic/critical materials and precious metals inventory needs; and production equipment/tooling requirements that could increase surge capability by at least 10%. The plan must address vertical planning considerations for components/materials delivery and include statements verifying this analysis. This DID (DI-MGMT-80969) supersedes DI-P-1634A and can be used in conjunction with DI-P-7046 for Industrial Preparedness Planning.
