Vendor FAQs

What are the required documents for a PCCD vendor number?

A Vendor Application and a W-9. Without either of these documents completed, signed, and dated, a vendor number cannot be processed.

Do I have to fill out every section of the Vendor Application?

Yes, except Section 10 which is obsolete and will be removed on the next updated Vendor Application. Therefore, every section must have all questions answered.

Do I have to sign both documents?

Yes, with either a handheld pen or a stamped Adobe Sign signature of a “wet signature” which is an ink pen signature. Digital signatures are NOT accepted.
