Summary

This is a Form W-9 (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) related to the Buffalo Public School District's Security Officer Training contract opportunity in New York. The W-9 form serves as the tax documentation required from vendors and contractors before payment can be issued. This particular form establishes the taxpayer identification requirements and certifications necessary for the contractor providing annual training services to approximately 125 BPS Security Officers who support safety and security operations across Buffalo Public School buildings, including high schools and elementary schools serving the community, staff, families, and students.

The W-9 form collects essential information including the contractor's legal business name, business address, taxpayer identification number (either Social Security Number or Employer Identification Number), and requires certification that the provided information is correct and that the contractor is not subject to backup withholding. This document is a standard requirement in the procurement process and does not contain specific pricing, contract terms, or project timelines, but rather functions as a prerequisite administrative document for contract award and payment processing by the Buffalo Public School District.
