Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Competition and sole-source analysis

Common Usage

  • Classify IDVs by competition status for dashboard reporting
  • Measure the share of competed versus noncompeted awards
  • Filter or group records by competition category in FPDS SQL queries

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the value is descriptive text rather than a code or label
  • Using the field without checking the allowed value set or related competition fields

Query Guidance

Use this field in SELECT, GROUP BY, and WHERE clauses to segment IDVs by competition category. If values are coded, join or map them to their reference labels before reporting, and avoid comparing against loosely matched text unless you have confirmed the exact stored representation.
