The North American Industry classification (NAICS) Code is 421450 and the Size Standard 100 employees are used for this requirement. There are no small business set-aside restrictions for this requirement. This acquisition is being conducted under simplified acquisition procedures.

The system includes the following set Patient accessories: 5 (five) rail accessory clamps - Translucent catherisation arm rest, 2 (two) tabletop accessory clamps - dripstand and Mattress - 2 handgrips. The SyncraTilt has the option to enhance the accuracy and efficency of gravity-oriented procedures. It is ideal for interventional, myelography, phlebography and head down procedures; it provides more precise imaging of contrast medium, blood, or objects in the body. The isocentre is automatically located at the isocentre of rotation and angulation of the stand.

The table floats even when tilted, and the region of interest can be followed by panning the tabletop. When combined with the Bolus Chase option, the SyncraTilt enables phlebography to be performed with head-up tilted patient. The option provides: maximum tilt range of -28 degrees head down tilt (HDT) to +20 degrees head up tilt (HUT), automatic safeguarding system with manual override; the panning range in tilted plane is equal to the standard tabletop specifications (longitudinal 100 cm (39.4 inch), lateral 36 cm (14.2 inch)).
