1. OBJECTIVE
The objective of this project is to perform the required five-year inspection, testing, and
maintenance (ITM) of all facility fire suppression systems at the Defense Supply Center of
Richmond, excluding building 31 & 47. This inspection shall be in accordance with UFC 3-601-02
and applicable federal, state, and local codes to ensure systems remain fully operational, code
compliant, and capable of protecting personnel, property, and mission readiness.
2. BACKGROUND
Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) facilities are equipped with fire suppression systems
designed to protect personnel, government property, and mission-critical operation from fire
hazard. Multiple fire suppression systems throughout DSCR facilities have reached the required
five-year service interval and must be evaluated to ensure continued operational readiness and code
compliance. Failure to conduct these mandated inspections and maintenance actions may result in
system degradation, increased life safety risks, potential mission disruption, and regulatory non-
compliance. This project supports the sustainment of DSCR life safety infrastructure by ensuring all
fire suppression systems remain reliable, fully functional, and compliant with governing standards.
