This Data Item Description (DID) provides guidelines for a Production Surge Plan, which outlines a contractor's capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment. The document (Identification Number DI-MGMT-80969) specifies detailed requirements for developing a comprehensive surge plan that includes:

Key elements of the plan must cover the maximum sustainable production rate, building a production schedule, lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, detailed information about contract performance, labor requirements, materials, and production equipment. The plan is designed to help contractors demonstrate their ability to quickly increase production capacity, identify potential bottlenecks, and provide a roadmap for scaling up manufacturing or service delivery with minimal disruption. The document is applicable for contracts requiring production surge critical items and provides a standardized framework for documenting a contractor's surge planning capabilities.
