DID-Surge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969). The DID provides detailed instructions for contractors to develop a comprehensive plan demonstrating their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during peacetime acquisition environments, without requiring a declaration of war or mobilization.

The document outlines specific requirements for the Production Surge Plan, including: 1) detailing the maximum sustainable production rate with a building schedule, 2) creating two lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components with details like nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and critical/pacing items, 3) listing government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility that could be impacted by production surge, 4) describing potential impacts on other contracts, 5) identifying additional skilled labor requirements, 6) listing strategic or critical materials needed, and 7) documenting production equipment that could increase production rate or reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent. The DID is intended to help the government understand a contractor's surge production capabilities and potential constraints.
