Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Spending aggregation and trend analysis

Common Usage

  • Market sizing and award value ranking
  • Comparing base-only versus maximum potential award amounts

Common Mistakes

  • Treating it as the amount currently obligated or spent
  • Assuming zero means no award value rather than missing, not applicable, or no options reported

Query Guidance

Select and aggregate this numeric field when you need maximum potential award value; use SUM for portfolio totals, AVG for typical award size, and filters for non-null/non-zero records. In SQL, pair it with base value or obligated value fields to separate ceiling value from funded value, and cast/handle nulls explicitly in calculations.
