Critical Notice to all Potential Vendors
The NYS Office of the State Comptroller is in the process of implementing
a new Statewide Financial Management System. In an effort to
establish a centralized vendor file, all entities doing business
with or receiving payments from New York State have been sent a
request to update their information on file with the Comptroller’s
Office via a Substitute Form W-9 www.osc.state.ny.us/epay/subw9form.pdf
(

KB).
All recipients of money from the New York State Education Department are considered "vendors" for this purpose and are strongly encouraged to respond to the request from the Vendor Management Unit (VMU). State Agencies will be unable to process payments to any entity without a valid OSC Vendor ID after April 1, 2011.
Anyone with questions or in need of additional information should contact
OSC’s helpdesk at
1-866-370-4672 or
www.osc.state.ny.us/vendors/index.htm.
