School vendor documents: W-9, account application and purchase orders
Setting up CM School Supply in your school or district’s purchasing system? Use these document links and contacts to prepare your vendor records and request a quote before issuing a purchase order.
- CM School Supply W-9
- Download CM’s W-9 PDF for your business office’s vendor records. This is CM’s form; it is separate from your school’s credit application.
- School business account and credit application
- Download the credit application PDF. Complete your organization’s application and email it to accounting@cmschoolsupply.com. Payment terms require approval.
- Written quotes before a PO
- Build your item list in Quick Order or follow the cart quote instructions. A PO number is not needed to begin a quote request. Staff respond within 24 hours, Monday–Friday; written quotes are valid for 30 days.
- Does submitting a cart or Quick Order instantly create an official quote?
- No. Submitting either form sends a quote request for staff review. A successful submission provides an automatic request confirmation and quote number; an automatically generated PDF is a record of your request, not a staff-reviewed official quote. CM reviews your items and responds within 24 hours, Monday–Friday. Ask our team to confirm pricing, availability, shipping, applicable tax, and delivery requirements before your school issues its purchase order. CM’s written quotes are valid for 30 days.
- Submit a school purchase order
- Ordering by PO requires an approved CM account and a $25 minimum. Follow the school purchase order guide, or email your official PO to shop@cmschoolsupply.com with the quote number.
Need a current copy, help opening a document, or additional vendor setup forms? Contact Accounting at the email above and describe what your purchasing office requires. Downloading documents or creating a website login does not approve credit terms or tax exemption; tax-exempt ordering requires separate verification.
What should our school prepare for the credit application?
The downloadable application is for institutional accounts. Have your school or institution’s name and address, contact details, preferred statement email, federal ID, PO-use information, billing responsibility, bank reference, and three business references ready. The form asks you not to use personal references, utilities, or credit cards as business references. If claiming a sales-tax exemption, include the tax-exempt certificate for review. Follow the application’s signature instructions and send the completed application to Accounting.
Our W-9 PDF is a scanned signed document. If your business office needs a more accessible copy or confirmation of vendor details, contact accounting@cmschoolsupply.com. For questions about the credit application’s payment terms, contact Accounting before signing.

Already have an approved CM business account? Log in to view the pricing, payment terms, and PO checkout available to your account.
If your approved payment terms or PO checkout option are not visible after signing in, contact accounting@cmschoolsupply.com to confirm your school’s account setup before submitting the order. Include your school or district name and the email address used to sign in. A website login alone does not approve payment terms. If you only need pricing for approval, you can still request a written quote before your PO is issued.
