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

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-

fire suppression systems remain reliable, fully functional, and compliant with governing standards.
