Information for Vendors

On This Page


Become a Vendor

In order to do business with SF, all vendors must complete an IRS Form W-9 and SF Vendor Information Packet. Send these forms to sfpurchasing@sfcollege.edu.

  • To be valid, a W-9 must be completely filled out and signed (electronic signatures are acceptable).
  • Be sure to check all applicable commodity codes in the Vendor Information Packet to optimize your inclusion in vendor search results.

Why does SF need this information? We are required by law to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN or EIN) from every vendor to whom we make payments. Without a completed W-9 on file, we cannot create a purchase order or issue a payment. If your TIN is your Social Security Number, please see the college's Notice of Collection, Use, and Release of SSNs.

MINORITY VENDORS: Purchasing endeavors to help departments locate minority-owned vendors whenever possible, in order to enhance opportunities at the college and in our community. Vendors are encouraged to note minority-owned status when applicable and include copies of any registrations. Departments are encouraged to consult the SF vendor database, the State of Florida Certified Minority Business Enterprise Online Directory, and/or the Gainesville Black Professionals Minority Business Directory when researching potential vendors.
