The W9 form and the Procurement and Accounts Payable information form (which includes a request for Minority Indicator Information and Bank Information for setting up a direct deposit) can be viewed/downloaded at the links below. It is important that you take the time complete this information in as much detail as possible for us to have an accurate business record.
If you wish to make us aware of goods and services provided by your company, it will be necessary to fill out and return the Commodity listing form with marks beside those categories relevant to your business.
Please take time to completely fill out the requested forms so that we may better serve you.
