Attachment C W-9~1.pdf

This is the W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification form (IRS Form W-9, Revision August 2013), a federal tax document required for state and local contract opportunities. The form serves as a standardized request to obtain taxpayer identification information from vendors, contractors, and other entities conducting business with government agencies. No specific products, services, project quantities, response dates, award dates, or contract terms are outlined in this document, as it functions solely as a supporting compliance and administrative form rather than a solicitation or contract agreement document.

The W-9 form requires the submission of either a Social Security Number (SSN) for individuals or an Employer Identification Number (EIN) for business entities, along with certification that the provided information is correct and that the entity is a U.S. citizen or resident alien. The form includes sections for entity name and address, federal tax classification (such as sole proprietor, corporation, partnership, or trust), and exemption status from backup withholding. Signatories must certify under penalty of perjury that they have provided accurate taxpayer identification information and comply with federal tax reporting requirements. This form is a mandatory attachment in contract procurement packages and must be completed, signed, and dated by all bidders or contractors prior to contract award.
