**NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR IRS FORM W-9**

In accordance with Internal Revenue Service (IRS) regulations, the Department of Energy will begin collecting taxpayer information from all of their vendors. The first time a vendor logs into VIPERS on or after May 4, 2009, they will be required to fill out an IRS Form W-9, Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification. These forms will be stored in a secure location of the VIPERS server in order to protect privacy information. Vendors will only be required to fill out the W-9 one time but will have the option to send an updated W-9 if information changes. If forms are sent in manually, they will be scanned and also saved on the VIPERS server. If you have any questions, please contact our help desk at 1-888-251-3557 or email ORFSCMAIL@oro.doe.gov.
