If competitive bidding results in a contract signed by both you and the service provider, then you, as the applicant, fill out the contract information in the contracts module for your profile. (Click on the name of your entity on the landing page, then choose "Contracts" from the list of links on the left). Once you do that, you will have a contract id to reference back in the Form 471.

If it is a month to month service rather than a contract, you would pick Month to Month in the Form 471 instead.

I’ll look at the help but I’ve a quick question.

 

I have quotes from a vendor that will work for me. This person has a SPIN number so is all set. Does this person need to log in and create the Contract ID?? What do I do next? Once I understand one the other two locations should be much easier.
