Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Spending aggregation and trend analysis

Common Usage

  • Estimate total procurement capacity under an IDV
  • Compare expected order value across contract vehicles
  • Support market sizing and opportunity analysis

Common Mistakes

  • Confusing estimated order value with obligated dollars or actual spend
  • Summing it across related records without checking for duplicate vehicle and order representations

Query Guidance

Use as a numeric dollar field in SELECT, SUM, AVG, MIN, and MAX calculations after filtering out nulls and validating whether zero is a true value or a placeholder. When joining to other FPDS tables, distinguish IDV-level records from order-level records to avoid double counting, and preserve the raw value for inflation-adjusted or normalized analysis if needed.
