DDSP Fire Extinguishers Maintenance

The work to be performed is inspection, testing, and maintenance of approximately 1,360 fire

extinguishers on Defense Distribution Center, Susquehanna. Of these, 1,300 are 10-pound ABC dry

powder extinguishers and 15 are 20-pound ABC dry powder extinguishers. Specialty extinguishers

include Water mist (15 units), Class K (15 units) and Purple K (15 units).

The term “test” in this contact refers to a 12-year hydrostatic test. The contractor will perform this

work over the course of 1-year with onsite visits monthly. Monthly, the Fire Department will collect

and provide 150 fire extinguishers to a central location on Defense Distribution Center,

Susquehanna where contractor will provide onsite services. The contractor will inspect, test and

complete all required repairs to the powder type fire extinguishers to bring them into compliance

with NFPA 10. Should a unit fail, the Fire Department will be responsible for replacement.

Specialty fire extinguishers require a specialty test that may need to be sent out for service. When a

unit passes the testing process, the contractor will stamp and tag the unit, with service verification

collar installed in accordance with NFPA 10.
