4-7. w-9 (2024 version).pdf

This is a W-9 form (2024 version) related to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) Request for Proposal for Zero Fatalities PR Media Management services. The W-9 form is a standard Internal Revenue Service document used to collect taxpayer identification information from contractors and service providers before payment can be issued. The form requests the contractor's name, business name, address, taxpayer identification number, and certification of exemption status. This document is a prerequisite requirement for any entity bidding on or awarded the UDOT Zero Fatalities PR Media Management contract, which seeks to support UDOT's strategic goal of eliminating crashes, injuries, and fatalities through public education and behavior change communications campaigns.

The W-9 form itself contains no pricing terms, set-asides, funding information, or other contract-specific details. Rather, it functions as an administrative requirement that must be completed and submitted by prospective bidders or awarded contractors to establish their tax status and ensure proper payment processing. Completion of the W-9 is mandatory for any vendor selected to provide PR and media management services under this solicitation, regardless of business structure or entity type.
