DID Surge.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form that establishes the format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan deliverable in federal contracts. The DID, identified as DI-MGMT-80969, was approved on February 14, 2019, and is applicable to the Office of Primary Responsibility (OPR) listed as A/AMOCOM/FD. The form is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production of existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or mobilization, and without utilizing emergency war powers. The plan shall include the maximum sustainable production rate with a production buildup schedule by month until achieving that rate; two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production volume of long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items; a list of Government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility with assigned Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities Systems priorities; impact analysis of surging this contract relative to other Government contracts; additional skilled labor requirements necessary to support maximum sustainable production; a list of strategic or critical materials and precious metals required for production with rolling inventory for six-month surge capability and substitute material options; and a list of production equipment, tooling, and associated costs that would increase surge production capability by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime, with estimated cost impacts. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and may be used independently or in conjunction with DI-P-7046 (Industrial Preparedness Planning Data).
