SAS License Renewals

The state of Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is seeking to renew its SAS software licenses, which are used by its Divisions of Health Care Policy and Oversight and Medicaid for various data analysis and reporting functions. The current licenses include Base SAS, SAS Access, SAS STAT, SAS ETS, and SAS Graph, with approximately 30 active licenses in use. AHCA intends to renew these licenses directly with the manufacturer, SAS Institute Inc., as the licenses are non-transferrable. The intended purchase is for a one-year term, with a deadline for receipt of information from prospective vendors by June 24, 2024. The estimated dollar amount for the renewal is $50,000. AHCA has provided justification for the single-source acquisition, citing SAS Institute Inc. as the sole manufacturer of the required licenses and the current license model offering flexibility in user licenses and types. The request has been approved by various AHCA management and leadership personnel.

This procurement is restricted to SAS Institute Inc. as the sole source for the required software licenses. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The current incumbent vendor is SAS Institute Inc., and the existing infrastructure and technology must be integrated with the renewed licenses. The estimated budget for this contract opportunity is $50,000.
