DID_Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969). The DID provides a standardized format and content preparation instructions for contractors to develop a production surge plan that demonstrates their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production using existing facilities and equipment in a peace-time acquisition environment, potentially without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The document outlines specific requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including detailing the maximum sustainable production rate, creating lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, identifying potential production impacts, listing government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, and documenting additional labor, materials, and equipment needs. The plan must address long-leadtime, critical, and pacing items/components, and provide details on how the contractor can increase production rate and reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent. The document is approved for public release with unlimited distribution.
