to the Technical Characteristics for the selected line item in a results
list.The Technical Characteristics Freeform search is located on the Federal Logistics Information Search screen. Click the Database menu, and then FLIS/TIR, to open this screen. Technical Characteristics provide detailed item descriptions, including information such as materials, dimensions, colors, conditions, end item identification and performance characteristics of supply parts. Use the Criteria 1-4 fields to enter characteristics such as materials, dimensions, colors, etc. You can enter an item in the Item Name field and add technical characteristics criteria to further delineate your search, and then click Search.
Additionally, the Technical Characteristics Freeform search allows you to enter terms you find in Drill-Down search results into the Criteria fields of a Technical Characteristics search so you can search further on the terms. Use the words you find in the Requirements or Reply results fields of a Drill-Down Search as guides to phrasing a new search criteria characteristic. It is helpful to remember that characteristics should be separated into the criteria fields. For example, you can put the name of an item, z clamp, in the Criteria 1 field, the kind of material for the item, stainless steel, in the Criteria 2 field, and the size, 1.25, in the Criteria 3 field, as a way of separating characteristics, and then click Search.
