Closed Status

Indicates whether the other transaction award record is marked as closed. This is a coded status value, not a narrative description; the example value "N" suggests a yes/no-style flag rather than a free-text field.

Business Meaning
This field helps analysts identify the lifecycle state of an OT award record and separate open transactions from those that are no longer active for reporting, oversight, or trend analysis.

Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building

Common Usage

  • Filter to open or closed awards in portfolio analyses
  • Group records by lifecycle status for reporting
  • Exclude closed records from active pipeline dashboards

Common Mistakes

  • Interpreting the code as a text description instead of a status flag
  • Assuming all closed records are equivalent across agencies or data extracts

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses to isolate status values and in GROUP BY aggregations to summarize open versus closed records. When coding logic, map observed values explicitly rather than relying on case or text matching, and validate the code set against the extract you are querying.
