Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • Group IDVs by NASA organization for reporting
  • Filter awards tied to a specific NASA office
  • Join to a lookup table for human-readable organization names

Common Mistakes

  • Interpreting the code as a descriptive label
  • Comparing codes across datasets without confirming the same code set

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses or GROUP BY statements when analyzing NASA-awarded IDVs by organization. If a lookup table exists, join on the code to display the organization name; if not, preserve the raw code and avoid casting it in a way that strips leading zeros or changes formatting.
