GSA (US Federal Government Employees only):

The SANS GSA contract number is GS-35F-0221N. GSA pricing is available for federal government employees for live SANS training events. SANS Mentor, SANS@Home, Self Study, and On Demand programs are not eligible for the discount. A complete list of the courses that are on the GSA schedule can be found at http://www.gsaadvantage.gov.

To obtain the GSA discount, please submit your registration through the SANS Web site. Then send your request for GSA pricing by email to gsa@sans.org, and be sure to include your invoice number. Your tuition fee will be adjusted for the GSA discount, and a revised invoice will be emailed to you showing the new amount due.

Federal government contractors may also receive GSA pricing. Contractors are required to submit a GSA authorization letter to SANS in order to receive the GSA discount. The letter must be issued by the contracting federal agency on their letterhead and state that the contractor has permission to purchase under the GSA contract. Please fax your GSA Authorization letter along with a copy of your SANS invoice to Cara Mueller at 814-253-3034. You will receive a response by email once your request has been reviewed.

Please note that while federal government contractors may receive GSA pricing, this does not mean that SANS accepts purchase orders from contractors. SANS policy on purchase orders still applies, and contractors will still be required to provide payment in advance for all courses.
