Information for Vendors
Become a Supplier
In order to do business with SF, all suppliers must complete an IRS Form W-9(Opens in new window) and SF Supplier Information Packet(Opens in new window). Send these forms to sfpurchasing@sfcollege.edu. A W-9 is not valid unless it is completely filled out and signed (electronic signatures are acceptable).
Why does SF need this information? We are required by law to obtain a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN or EIN) from every business entity 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.
