Please note that in accordance with the California Franchise Tax Board,
Publication 1017
and Revenue and California
Taxation Code Section 18662, the Los Angeles Unified School District is required to withhold 7% on all payments made
to non-California resident service providers for professional services, rents, leases, or royalties paid. Any funds withheld
shall be remitted to the California Franchise Tax Board on a quarterly basis.
Some vendors may be exempted from this requirement by completing a
Withholding Exemption Certificate (California Form
590)
certifying their exemption status and submitting the California Form 590 to LAUSD’s Accounts Payable Branch via
regular mail, e-mail, or
fax. The California Franchise Tax Board may also authorize a waiver of or reduced withholding.
For additional information on tax withholding requirements or to request for a waiver of or reduced withholding, you may
visit the California Franchise Tax Board at If you have any other questions, please contact one of our
Accounts Payable customer service representatives at (213) 241-4800.
If your organization is a Small Business Enterprise (SBE), please provide proof of certification from any California public
agency. If your organization is not an already certified SBE but the organization meets the proper size standards in
accordance with the Small Business Administration (SBA), consider obtaining certification by visiting the State of California
Department of General Services site ( ). At this time, Procurement does not
have a program dedicated to SBE certification; however we will accept that of another California public agency and note it in
our financial system. The gathering of SBE information is solely for reporting purposes.
(SBA website: )
Vendors interested in doing business with LAUSD should consider registering on Procurement’s Vendor Registration site at
This will allow vendors to view current and upcoming procurements released by Procurement
and decide whether or not they would like to compete by submitting bids or proposals. Vendor Registration is NOT the
same as having a vendor number in LAUSD’s financial system. A vendor number in LAUSD’s financial system is for
facilitating the payment process against a contract and/or purchase order after an award determination has been made.
