This document outlines specifications for flexible ducts required by the US Navy. The ducts must be 15 inches in diameter, 25 feet long, two-ply, and black with a green heavy-duty bonded wear strip. They should be made of neoprene-impregnated poly fabric, meeting UL-94-V-0 standards, and include a steel enclosure wire helix. A key requirement is that the ducts must be palletized and clearly marked with "FIRE RESISTANT PROPERTY OF US NAVY" in 1-1/8 to 1-1/2 inch tall white characters. These markings need to be stenciled or ink-printed in at least eight locations along the length and on all sides of the duct, with specific spacing if the text is on a single line. These detailed specifications are crucial for procurement within federal government RFPs, ensuring the acquired materials meet stringent military and safety standards.
