04-Attachment C – Sample W-9.pdf

This file is a sample W-9 form attachment provided by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) for an Invitation for Bid (IFB) procurement. The attachment directs bidders to download the current W-9 form from the Internal Revenue Service website at https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/about-form-w-9. The W-9 form is a standard tax documentation requirement that bidders must complete and submit as part of their proposal response.

Bidders are instructed to obtain the most recent version of the W-9 form and its accompanying instructions directly from the IRS website rather than using an outdated version. This ensures compliance with current federal tax identification requirements and allows DFPS to properly document vendor information for tax reporting purposes. The W-9 form serves as a prerequisite document for contract award and payment processing.
