Production_Surge_Plan.pdf

This document is a Data Item Description (DID) for a Production Surge Plan, identified by the number DI-MGMT-80969. The document outlines a framework for contractors to demonstrate their capability to rapidly accelerate and sustain production utilizing existing facilities and equipment during a peace-time acquisition environment, without a declaration of war or mobilization.

The Production Surge Plan requires contractors to detail several key components: the maximum sustainable production rate, building schedules to achieve that rate, comprehensive lists of subcontracted and non-subcontracted items/components, lists of government contracts being performed at the contractor's facility, potential impact on production of surging this contract, additional labor requirements, strategic or critical materials needed, and production equipment details. The plan must identify contract numbers, items, Defense Materials System priorities, and provide specifics on how the contractor can increase production rate, reduce leadtime by at least 10 percent, and improve surge protection capability. The document is marked for public release with unlimited distribution and supersedes a previous version (DI-P-1634A).
