Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • Filter awards that include government-furnished property or equipment
  • Segment contracts for compliance or risk analysis
  • Compare contract patterns across awards with and without GFE/GFP

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the field indicates the dollar amount or type of property
  • Filtering only on Y without checking whether the source uses other coded representations

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses to isolate awards with GFE/GFP, matching the exact stored code values in your FPDS extract. Example pattern: WHERE content__award__contractData__GFE_GFP = 'Y'; if nulls or alternate codes exist, add explicit handling such as COALESCE or an IN list after confirming the domain.
