SAS License Renewals

The state of Florida, specifically Leon County through the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), is seeking to procure SAS software license renewals for a one-year term. The procurement involves approximately thirty (30) active SAS licenses covering various software capabilities, including basic procedures, data management, statistical analysis, econometrics, time series analysis, and graphics. These licenses are critical for AHCA's Division of Health Care Policy and Oversight and Division of Medicaid, supporting survey and certification activities, report generation, large data set analysis, and management decision-making. The single-source procurement is specifically with SAS Institute Inc., the original manufacturer of the licenses, which are non-transferrable and can only be renewed directly through the manufacturer. The procurement document (PUR 7776) was posted on 4/30/2025, with the last day for receipt of information set for 5/20/2025. The procurement appears to be a direct renewal process with no competitive bidding, focused on maintaining existing software licensing infrastructure.

The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents. SAS Institute Inc. is the sole vendor for this licensing renewal, with no alternative providers mentioned. The current license model offers flexibility in user license numbers and types, which supports AHCA's operational needs. The estimated dollar amount for this single-source purchase is $50,000.00, representing the total cost for the one-year license renewal term. No specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements or integration challenges are noted in the documentation. The procurement is targeted specifically at maintaining existing software licensing capabilities for critical data analysis and reporting functions within AHCA's divisions. The renewal ensures continued access to software tools essential for conducting complex statistical analyses and supporting administrative decision-making processes.
