Supplier Registration
The supplier would need to send an email to the Procurement Services Vendor Control team at: vcontrol@uw.edu and indicate that their address or other company information has changed and provide the updated information in the email. The supplier should include an official company notification or an invoice copy showing the current Tax ID Number (EIN) or new Remit-To information. If changes impact IRS tax reporting, the supplier may be requested to submit a new Supplier Registration form (SRF) for further review.
