You can't combine a with software. software is uncountable. That eliminates all of your choices.

I suspect that anyone in the field of software who might want to employ you would know what SSPS is. I don't think you need to explain what it is, but if you insist, you should use the same phrasing that is used on the SSPS site, namely, "SSPS statistics software", like this:

I am experienced in the use of SSPS statistics software.
