DID_SURGE.pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) form for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969), approved by the Office of the Secretary of Defense on February 23, 1990, and maintained by A/AMOCM/FD. The DID specifies format and content preparation instructions for the Production Surge Plan data product required under specific contract task requirements.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or mobilization. The plan must include: the maximum sustainable production rate with a production buildup schedule by month until achievement; separate lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components identifying long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items with subcontractor names and addresses; a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with contract numbers, items, Defense Materials System priorities, and Defense Priorities System priorities; impact analysis on current and other Government contracts; identification of additional skilled labor requirements; a list of strategic or critical materials and precious metals with quantities, costs, and substitutes; and a list of production equipment and tooling with estimated costs and capability increases. The plan may reference but not substitute for DI-P-7046 (Industrial Preparedness Planning Data). This DID is applicable to contracts requiring production surge capability for select critical items and supersedes DI-P-1634A.
