It depends on what kind of business you want to go for. I would start by going to your state, city and county government procurement offices to see what they require. Some require that you pre register with them while others have no such limitations. Most probably have web sites that announce bids that come up and you shouldy be able to register on those sites to get email alerts when new bids are issued.
