The State of New Jersey requires the completion of the NJ W-9/Questionnaire for Non-Procurement Vendors form by individuals and entities wishing to engage in non-procurement business activities with the state or seeking reimbursement for travel or training expenses. This critical document, essential for embedding vendors/payees into the State of New Jersey's Comprehensive Financial System, gathers information to verify the vendor’s or payee's name, address, and federal identification number to facilitate payments and maintain accurate state records. Specifically, the form distinguishes between procurement and non-procurement vendors, directing the former to an alternative registration process at NJSTART.GOV, and outlines a two-part process: the first part for tax identification and certification and the second for detailed vendor/payee information. It is of utmost importance that all sections are answered meticulously and clearly, as the State of New Jersey will not issue payments until this form is fully completed, signed, and submitted. The form also offers instructions for those who might need assistance or have questions, aiming to streamline the process and ensure compliance. Furthermore, it introduces the Vendor Payment Inquiry system, an online tool for tracking payment information, underscoring the state's commitment to vendor convenience and transparency.
