Form / Attachment / Pricing Sheet

This document is IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. It is used by individuals and entities to provide their correct Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) to a requester who is required to file an information return with the IRS. This form is essential for vendors to provide their TIN to the government agency issuing the contract or opportunity, ensuring accurate tax reporting and avoiding backup withholding.

• Part I: Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN): Requires the entry of a Social Security Number (SSN), Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or Employer Identification Number (EIN).
• Part II: Certification: The individual or entity certifies that the TIN provided is correct, that they are not subject to backup withholding (or are exempt), and that they are a U.S. person.

• Line 3b: Used by partnerships, trusts, or estates to indicate if they have foreign partners, owners, or beneficiaries.
• Line 4: Allows for exemption codes for backup withholding and FATCA reporting.

Bidders must complete and submit this Form W-9 to the government agency (the "requester") as part of the contracting process. Failure to provide a correct TIN or to complete the certification accurately can lead to backup withholding of payments, which is a significant financial penalty.
