HHS SAS License Agreement Renewed

The HHS SAS License Agreement was recently renewed for a period of three years, consisting of a one-year base period and two optional years. This agreement provides the standard product suite of SAS software (Base SAS plus add-on modules) and is available to NIH and other HHS Operating Divisions for installation on SAS supported platforms and operating systems (the SAS Institute has discontinued product development for the MacIntosh operating system).

What’s Included

In addition to the features listed here, the agreement includes technical support, and – depending on how your IC or Operating Division implements this benefit - a limited amount of training credits and professional services hours.

• 40% discount off SAS Enterprise Business Intelligence Server/Business Intelligence Server, SAS Enterprise Miner, SAS Strategic Performance Management, and SAS Bridge for ESRI


• 30% discount off GSA pricing for SAS software not covered by agreement


• Additional Training Credits available for SAS training at a 5% discount off GSA pricing


• Additional SAS Professional Services available at a 5% discount off GSA pricing (expenses additional)

Processes for Obtaining SAS Software

The process for acquiring and maintaining SAS software not covered by the previous agreement has been simplified under the terms of the new agreement. HHS customers may now purchase and maintain this software using internal billing processes rather than following the steps required when purchasing from a reseller. The process for obtaining software previously included is unchanged. To obtain SAS software, contact your iSDP representative (see here for a list).
