Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • NASA-specific IDV record interpretation

Common Usage

  • Grouping NASA IDVs by administrator for reporting
  • Filtering awards tied to a specific NASA administrative office
  • Reconciling IDV records to internal NASA management structures

Common Mistakes

  • Interpreting the code as a descriptive office name
  • Joining on this field without confirming the current NASA code set

Query Guidance

Use this field as an exact-match filter or grouping key, e.g. WHERE administratorCode = 'JAK'. When joining or reporting, pair it with a lookup table or companion description field if available, and account for nulls where the NASA-specific element is not populated.
