Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) imaging is routinely used by medical clinicians to guide interventional percutaneous procedures such as vascular access, nerve blocks, and therapeutic injections. Ultrasonic scanning systems have an ultrasonic scanner, transducers (frequencies of 2 to 12 MHz are typical for vascular and abdominal scanning, procedure guidance, and nerve blocks), dedicated software, DICOM software for PACS compatibility and image storage, and an image recorder. Most ultrasonic scanners include continuous-wave and pulsed-wave Doppler capabilities (including a spectrum analyzer) for sensing the velocity and location of blood flow; they can be operated in multiple modes, including color flow mapping mode and triplex mode (i.e., simultaneous acquisition and display of 2-D gray-scale, spectral Doppler, and color flow data). Ultrasonic scanning systems usually display images of the vessels in conjunction with spectrum analysis to depict the vessel and its obstructions. Some ultrasonic scanners use a low frequency (typically 2 MHz) Doppler transducer to obtain the blood flow velocity recording in the intracranial arteries. These systems are used for transdermal examinations and diagnosis of diseases, occlusions, and obstructions in the peripheral vascular system, including a profile of the blood-flow velocity in the area under examination. Most of them also include capabilities for small-part examinations.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
- $CCZ reported $124.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $21.5M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

- Feb 27, 2026AFTER ACTION MEDICAL AND DENTAL SUPPLY, LLC$39.5MNX EQ Defibrillators AwardNo listed company matched (Materiality N/A)
Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
