The State of Alabama, through its Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, is seeking quotes for a Geosystem Software package upgrade from LabSuite v4 to v5 under Quick Quote solicitation 605-660865. The procurement is for site-licensed software that permits unlimited installation of the upgraded software on computers at the licensed site, with no ongoing maintenance fees required.
