For federal business you can start with two main Web sites: www.fbo.gov (FedBizOpps), where you can search for RFPs and other forms of solicitations; and www.ccr.gov (Central Contractor Registration), where you can register your business to sell to federal agencies.
For some good informational articles on winning government business and getting certified as a small business enterprise (SBE), minority business enterprise (MBE), etc., visit http://hispanicbic.org/index.php?id=1511;=en. The content there is also translated into Spanish.
Hi NHBIC: Thanks for the resources. Your information resources are very helpful. I also would like to add that a few others to this post:
Finding Government Opportunities
Provides information on finding government solicitations, GSA Schedules, Teaming Arrangements, Subcontracting, Business Matchmaking and more.
State Contracting Opportunities
Find a list of state procurement agencies, and information on how to certify and register as a contractor and bid on opportunities.
