The SBA negotiates with a variety of companies and providers to assist with varying needs, ranging from information technology services to general office products. We are committed to the utilization of small business enterprises, including those owned by minorities. Our goal in negotiating any engagement or contract is to choose the most qualified firm whose fees we deem fair, competitive, and reasonable.

Vendor Registration W-9 / W-8
The State Board of Administration (SBA) requires all vendors to submit a Form W-9 or the appropriate W-8 for vendors domiciled outside the United States. The forms provide a Federal Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), official entity name, a business designation (sole proprietorship, corporation, partnership, etc.), and other taxpayer information to the SBA. The submission of a completed form ensures that the SBA's vendor records and information reporting to the IRS are accurate.
In order to make payments to vendors the SBA Accounts Payable must have on file a verified W-9 (verified by matching what is on file with the Internal Revenue Service) or a completed W-8.
Vendor Payments
Vendor payments are made by check, ACH, or Purchasing Card. The State Board of Administration’s preferred method of issuing payments to vendors is ACH Direct Payment. To enroll in the ACH Direct Payment program, please contact Accounts.Payablesection@sbafla.com
Vendor Forms
The SBA can accept electronic copies of the of W-9 and W-8 forms. All submitted forms must be filled out completely, signed and dated.
The SBA can only accept the original ACH Vendor Enrollment Form and corresponding documentation.
