What registering takes
The state's registration sheet lists what to have on hand: your company's legal and DBA names, federal tax ID, tax filing name, business location and the commodity codes you sell. The sheet dates from 2018 and is posted by the Division of Emergency Management. checked Nov 2, 2026
To be paid, you also need a verified Florida Substitute W-9 on file with the Department of Financial Services: without one, the state can't place orders with you or pay you. checked Nov 2, 2026

What you can do without an account
Read the state's bids: its bid search is public, and BidSignal reads it each morning without logging in.
The account is what you need to do business with a state agency, and the W-9 is what gets you paid.
Where BidSignal fits
State bids in your trade and counties arrive in the same morning email as city, county and school bids, each with a link to its posting. You register with the state once, and each posting says how that bid goes in.
