New Vendor & Tax Compliance Information

In order to do business with the State of Hawaii DOE, new vendors need to become approved by the purchasing department. The vendor will need to:
 
* Complete the Request for Vendor Information form (attached below), submit IRS Form W-9 and taxpayer identification number with form and return to Kalaheo HS.
 
 
* If the vendor is new or a state authorized vendor with vendor number but not tax compliant, the vendor needs to register with the Hawaii Compliance Express (HCE Letter to Vendor attached below.) Under Hawaii law, you must provide proof of compliance in order to receive a contract $2,500 or more with state and county government entities in Hawaii. A Taxpayer Identification Number (FEIN or SSN), Hawaii Tax ID#, or Unemployment Insurance Identification number (UI ID#) are required to register. There is a $12 annual registration fee to complete the transaction.
