DIDSurge.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the number DI-MGMT-80969. The document provides detailed instructions for contractors to develop a plan demonstrating their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, potentially in preparation for emergency or war-related scenarios.

The Production Surge Plan must include specific elements such as: the maximum sustainable production rate (including a production building schedule), two comprehensive lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, potential critical items that could impact production, labor requirements for skilled workers, a list of strategic or critical materials, and an inventory of production equipment and tooling. The plan should also describe the potential impact of surging production on current government contracts and the contractor's commercial business, and identify any additional equipment or tooling needed to increase production capacity by up to 10 percent within existing facility limitations.
