Attachment C W-9~3.pdf

This document is the IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification, presented as Attachment C to a state or local contract opportunity. The form serves as a standardized federal document used to collect taxpayer identification information from contractors, vendors, and other entities doing business with government agencies. The W-9 requires the submission of either a Social Security Number (for individuals), Employer Identification Number (for businesses), or other appropriate taxpayer identification number, along with the entity's name, address, and business classification. The form must be completed, signed, and dated by the contractor or vendor prior to contract award or payment authorization. No specific contract term, renewal options, project scope, response dates, or bidder meetings are detailed within this document, as it functions solely as a supporting compliance form rather than a primary contract solicitation document.

The W-9 form contains certification statements in which the submitting entity attests to the accuracy of the taxpayer identification number provided and confirms U.S. citizenship or resident alien status. The form includes provisions for exemptions from backup withholding and FATCA (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) reporting, as applicable. Instructions specify that the form should be provided to the requesting entity and not directly to the IRS. This form represents a mandatory administrative requirement for contract compliance and payment processing but contains no information regarding pricing, contract amounts, funding sources, set-asides, or other substantive contract terms.
