  • Contractor profiling and competitor analysis

Common Usage

  • Calculate share of obligations to this vendor group
  • Support diversity and small business reporting dashboards

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming all non-1 values mean the same thing without checking the code set

Query Guidance

Use explicit code handling in SQL, for example WHERE field = 1 for affirmative records only after confirming the coding scheme. If the dataset includes blanks or multiple coded states, normalize them with CASE logic and consider joining or co-selecting related socioeconomic indicator fields to avoid misclassification.
