If you are interested in getting a government contract, the best place to start could be the Procurement Technical Assistance Center or PTAC. These folks' primary function is to help you wade through all the red tape of registration and figure out how to find opportunities that suit what your small business has to offer. They can give you one-on-one attention -- and best of all, they're free!
