Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • calculate non-federal funding totals
  • compare federal vs. non-governmental share of awards
  • analyze trends in leveraged or cost-shared financing

Common Mistakes

  • assuming the value equals total award amount
  • double-counting it with other dollar value fields from the same record

Query Guidance

Use as a numeric measure in SUM, AVG, and ratio calculations, typically grouped by fiscal year, agency, vendor, or award type. Filter or coalesce nulls carefully, and avoid adding it to federal funding fields unless you are explicitly reconstructing total project value from component amounts.
