Production Surge Plan (DI-MGMT-80969).pdf

This is a Data Item Description (DID) document that establishes format and content requirements for a Production Surge Plan, a mandatory deliverable for federal contracts requiring production surge capability.

The Production Surge Plan delineates a contractor's ability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment in a peacetime acquisition environment without declaring war or mobilization and without invoking emergency war powers. The plan must include: (1) maximum sustainable production rate with a rollup schedule by month until achievement; (2) two lists identifying subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components by nomenclature, part number, leadtime, and production buildup of long-leadtime, critical, or pacing items, with subcontractors and vendors identified by name and address down to the appropriate tier level; (3) a list of Government contracts at the contractor's facility with production surge provisions or cold reserve capability, including contract numbers, items, and Defense Materials System and Defense Priorities System assignments; (4) impact analysis describing effects on other Government contracts and the contractor's commercial business; (5) additional skilled labor requirements needed to support maximum sustainable production rate; (6) strategic or critical materials and precious metals by type, quantity, cost, and rolling inventory requirements; and (7) production equipment and tooling costs down to the lowest tier subcontractor tier that would increase surge production capability by at least 10 percent or reduce leadtime. This DID supersedes DI-P-1634A and is applicable to contracts where production surge capability for select criteria items is required. Distribution is approved for public release.
