Government Procurement. Color 2, Tan, shall be any acceptable shade of tan agreed upon between the supplier and the Government.
3.3 Breakage. The sandbags shall resist damage when dropped onto an unyielding surface.
3.3.1 Breakage test. The sandbags shall be tested for breakage as follows. Fill the sandbag with 44 pounds 1/2 pound (approximately 760 cubic inches) of clean, dry sand and knot the tie string firmly about the choke. Adjust the contents of the bag to form a shape about
4 inches by 10 inches by 20 inches before each drop. Drop the bag (free fall) from a height of
48 inches on one face, on one side seam or the folded area where the seam would normally be located on a tubular bag, and on the butt onto a hard, unyielding surface such as stone or concrete of sufficient mass to absorb the shock without deflection. Every fourth sandbag tested shall be dropped (free fall) on the tied (choke) end in lieu of the butt drop. After each drop, the sandbag shall be examined for visual evidence of damage such as tears, punctures, broken yarns or threads, or exposure of the contents by any means other than sifting. Slight slippage or yawning in the seams shall not be considered damage. Visible evidence of damage shall constitute failure of this test.
3.4 Durability. The sandbags shall be bio-deterioration resistant and ultraviolet light resistant. Due to their durability, these sandbags are not recommended for temporary flood control
where easy destruction and rapid deterioration of bag fabrics are desired after flood danger has passed.
3.5 Workmanship. The sandbags shall be free of holes, tears, punctures, and other defects which may affect serviceability. The sandbags shall be both dry and flexible and shall be uniform in appearance. Individual bags shall be uniform in color. The seams shall be straight and even.
4. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS.
4.1 Recycled materials. The offeror/contractor is encouraged to use recovered materials to
the maximum extent practical, in accordance with paragraph 23.403 of the Federal Acquisition
