COG_Sub_W9_.pdf

This is a Substitute Form W-9 document issued by Greenville County, South Carolina, required for all vendors seeking to conduct business with the County. The form captures essential taxpayer identification information, including the vendor's legal name, tax identification number (SSN or EIN/FIN), entity classification, and service type. Vendors must complete all required fields, including their legal address, payment remittance information, contact details, and entity tax classification selection. The form emphasizes that the U.S. Taxpayer Identification Number is mandatory per U.S. tax law and that failure to provide it timely may prevent or delay payment. Submission of the County's Substitute Form W-9 is mandatory; IRS Form W-9 will not be accepted as an alternative. The vendor must certify under penalties of perjury that the provided taxpayer identification number is correct, that they are not subject to backup withholding (or have received notification of exemption), and that they are a U.S. citizen or other U.S. person.

This form applies directly to Greenville County's Invitation for Bids #26054 for ManageEngine Endpoint Central Security Edition software. All vendors responding to the solicitation must complete and submit this County-specific W-9 form as part of their bid package. The form serves as a prerequisite compliance document ensuring vendors meet the County's administrative and tax reporting requirements before contract execution. No pricing, contract value, or financial terms are addressed within the form itself, as it functions solely as a vendor identification and tax documentation document separate from the solicitation's pricing and technical requirements.
