1-3. W9 Blank Template.pdf

This is a W9 blank template form provided by Dallas Independent School District (ISD) in Texas as a supporting document for a Request for Proposal (RFP) to procure fresh dairy products and juice for district-wide delivery to support Food and Child Nutrition Services. The W9 form is a standard Internal Revenue Service (IRS) document used to collect tax identification information from vendors and service providers. The form requests the vendor's name, business name, address, tax classification, and Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Social Security Number (SSN). This document is a prerequisite requirement for vendor participation in the solicitation and must be completed by all interested bidders as part of their proposal submission package.

The inclusion of the W9 template in the RFP indicates that Dallas ISD requires all potential vendors to provide verified tax identification documentation prior to contract award. This requirement aligns with federal procurement standards outlined in Title 2 of the Code of Federal Regulations (2CFR) Part 200 and USDA regulations, as the school district utilizes federal dollars for purchases under this contract. The resulting contract will be awarded for a one-year term with the option for two successive one-year renewals, not to exceed three years total, contingent upon district needs and mutual agreement between both parties.
