1. **Log in to Fedmine**
   
     - After logging in, navigate to "Federal Opportunities."
2. **Access RFP Search**
   
     - Click on "RFP Search" from the Federal Opportunities menu.
3. **Prepare for the Search**
   
     - Before running the search, ensure you have: 
           - The type of notices (e.g., open opportunities or solicitation documents)
           - Posted dates
           - List of agencies
           - Relevant keywords
           - Any set-asides or GWACs of interest
4. **Select Type of Notice**
   
     - Choose the type of notice you are looking for (e.g., "Open Opportunities").
5. **Input Posted Date Range**
   
     - Enter a "Posted Date Between" range to capture relevant opportunities. This is a dynamic search, so it will continue to pick up new opportunities even after the date selected.
6. **Enter Keywords**
   
     - Enter keywords manually, separated by commas, or select from a pre-populated list saved in "MyResearch."
7. **Input NAICS Codes**
   
     - Enter NAICS codes manually or use the dropdown to select saved NAICS codes from "MyResearch."
8. **Optional: Refine by Location or Contracting Office**
   
     - You can filter by contracting office states, place of performance, or region if desired.
9. **Optional: Add PSC Codes**
   
     - Input PSC codes manually or select from saved PSC codes in "MyResearch."
10. **Select Agencies**
    
      - If focusing on specific agencies, hold "Ctrl" and select multiple agencies if needed.
11. **Optional: Additional Filters**
    
      - Add other filters such as set-asides or specific locations as needed.
12. **Run the Search**
    
      - Once all criteria are entered, click the "Search" button.
13. **Review Results**
    
      - A list of results will appear (e.g., 54 results in this search). If there are no results, it may mean no active solicitations are available.
14. **Save the Search**
    
      - After running the search, click "Save," create a title for your search, and save it for future use.
