DID Production Surge Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) form that provides instructions and requirements for preparing a Production Surge Plan, identified as DI-MGMT-80969. The plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition without requiring war declaration or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include specific components: maximum sustainable production rates with buildup schedules, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with nomenclature and leadtimes, a list of government contracts that could be surged, impact analysis on other contracts and commercial business, labor requirements, strategic/critical materials needs, and production equipment details. The plan must identify any tooling or equipment that could increase surge production by at least 10% and provide rolling inventory requirements for maintaining surge production within six months. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and is applicable for contracts requiring production surge capability for select critical items, working in conjunction with Industrial Preparedness Planning requirements.
