Avoid the hassles, research and digging that goes along with tracking down USDOD specifications for your next project by using the 3M FEDSPEC locator. It's a handy yet little-known feature on the 3M Web site.
Getting a grip on USDOD specifications can be challenging to say the least, but if you want to work on military projects, you’ve got be on point when it comes to meeting the exacting standards outlined by Uncle Sam.
Using the 3M FEDSPEC tool allows you to skip the complicated research and get right to the information you need.
How it works
Using the Locator is as simple as plugging data into one of two fields, either entering 
- The Federal Specification Number
- The 3M Product Number
Depending on the information you enter, the system will tell you whether the USDOD has specifications related to the 3M product you entered, or if there is a 3M product that meets specific government specifications.
The 3M FEDSPEC Locator can be accessed at the 3M Government Solutions website.
