The contractor shall provide all commercial items, equipment, supplies, transportation, and delivery items necessary to fulfill the requirements in strict accordance with the salient characteristics defined herein. All equipment provided must be an exact Brand Name item from Nordic Back Extension V3 (4-in-1 machine).

This multi-use capability offers an exceptional solution for diverse clinical reconditioning protocols.

To maximize square footage within a limited space facility, units feature must have integrated transit wheels and a specialized framing structure that will allow them to be tipped up and stored vertically when not in use, preserving critical open floor space for dynamic athletic screening. Procurement must include long-term, zero cost component replacement warranties.
