W-9 2024.pdf

This is a W-9 form (Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification) used for federal tax reporting purposes in connection with RFP #1113-P-2526 for Fire Protection Systems Testing, Inspection and Maintenance Services in Virginia. The W-9 form serves as the standard IRS document required from vendors and contractors to establish their taxpayer identification information before contract award and payment processing. This form would be completed by prospective bidders responding to the fire protection systems RFP and submitted as part of their proposal documentation to provide the Commonwealth of Virginia with necessary tax identification data for any awarded contract.

The W-9 form contains standard sections for the contractor to provide their legal business name, taxpayer identification number (either an EIN or SSN), business address, and to certify under penalty of perjury that the information provided is correct. Completion and submission of this form is a prerequisite requirement for contract award, as it enables the state to issue Form 1099 reporting for payments made to the contractor throughout the contract term. No pricing, set-asides, incumbency information, or other salient contract terms would be contained within this tax certification document itself.
