This is a County of Greenville Substitute Form W-9, a tax identification document required by the County of Greenville for vendor and contractor payment purposes. The form requests comprehensive taxpayer identification information including the legal name, DBA/trade name, taxpayer identification number (SSN or EIN/FIN), and legal address of the service provider. Vendors must select their entity tax classification from options including individual/sole proprietorship, partnership, LLC variants, C or S corporation, trust/estate, or other entity types, and must specify the service type being provided, with categories for medical/veterinarian services, legal/attorney services, rental of real property, products/services, or other classifications. The form also requires payment remittance information including a separate remittance address if different from the legal address, along with contact name, telephone, fax, and email for payment coordination purposes.

The form is mandatory for all vendors contracting with Greenville County, as completion is required to process payments and comply with IRS tax reporting requirements. Failure to provide accurate taxpayer identification information in a timely manner may prevent or delay payment. The document requires the signatory to certify under penalty of perjury that the provided taxpayer identification number is correct, that they are not subject to backup withholding by the IRS (or have been notified they are no longer subject to withholding), and that they are a U.S. citizen or U.S. person. This form is specifically required for the Disaster Debris Management Plan Update project, a consulting engagement wherein Greenville County seeks a qualified firm to review and update its 2008 FEMA Disaster Debris Management Plan to ensure current compliance and operational readiness.
