Hi
 Grainger claims to be a whole saler. They like to
always deal with companies. Even though not incorporated,
they have no problem selling to our small water system
company ( 7 homes ) but won't sell to me as an individual.
If it is taxable, they don't need a tax number. I'd
suspect that if you gave them most any fictitious name
they would sell to you without question, even in small
amounts.
