Query Guidance

Use explicit boolean logic and handle nulls separately, for example WHERE content__award__vendor__vendorSiteDetails__vendorCertifications__isSelfCertifiedHUBZoneJointVenture = 1 for reported true values. If the warehouse stores codes as text, compare against the observed true/false or 1/0 representation in your dataset, and pair this filter with related HUBZone certification fields when needed.
