Description
A NASA-specific identifier that stores the offeror's proposal number associated with an IDV record. It is an internal reference used by NASA to link the agreement to a particular proposal or administrative tracking record.
Business Meaning
This field helps analysts connect the IDV to NASA's internal proposal, award, or reconciliation processes. It can support traceability across procurement documents when matching NASA-specific records that may not be fully identifiable using standard FPDS fields alone.

Comparison Summary
FPDS Query flattens the original nested FPDS XML path 'IDV/agencySpecificIDVElements/NASASpecificIDVElements/offerorsProposalNumber' into the SQL-ready variable 'content__IDV__agencySpecificIDVElements__NASASpecificIDVElements__offerorsProposalNumber'.

Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • Link NASA IDV records to proposal or administrative tracking records
  • Reconcile NASA-specific procurement extracts with internal systems
  • Filter or group NASA agreements by proposal reference

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the value is a universal FPDS contract identifier
  • Using it as a surrogate key without checking agency-specific scope and uniqueness

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses, joins, or grouping only when analyzing NASA-specific records and after confirming value consistency. In SQL, compare it as a string or identifier and pair it with other award keys such as PIID, UEI/DUNS-related fields, and modification identifiers to avoid false matches.
