King St., Malvern, PA 1935 for continued licensing, patches, maintenance and upgrades to Mumps software modules. NAICS code 514199 applies to this procurement. The Mumps products are proprietary and wholly owned by Mumps AudioFAX. Mumps will provide software maintenance, technical support, customer service, and software enhancements.
