DID_SURGE.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that establishes the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan deliverable in federal contracts. Identified as DI-MGMT-80969, this DID was approved on February 14, 2019, and is maintained by the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) at A/AMOCOM/FD. The document is applicable to contracts where production surge capability for select critical items is required.

The Production Surge Plan must delineate a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production of select items utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or mobilization and without invoking emergency war powers. The plan shall include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a month-by-month buildup schedule until achieving that rate; two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume of long-leadtime or critical items; a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with surge provisions, including contract numbers, item(s), and Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities Systems priorities; a description of impact on other Government contracts; identification of additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support the maximum sustainable production rate; a strategic or critical materials and precious metals list with quantities, costs, and rolling inventory requirements; and a list of tooling and equipment needed to increase surge production capability by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime, with estimated increases in surge production rate or decreases in leadtime included. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and uses AMSC Number A4923.
