DID_Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed instructions for contractors to develop a plan that demonstrates their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition without full mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan must include several key components: a production rate schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, a list of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, an assessment of potential surge impact, identification of additional skilled labor requirements, and inventories of strategic/critical materials and production equipment. The plan aims to help contractors outline their ability to increase production rates, identify potential bottlenecks, and provide a comprehensive view of their production capabilities in potential surge scenarios for defense-related contracts.
