Common Usage

  • Filter awards to American Indian owned vendors

  • Confusing this indicator with the vendor name, legal structure, or geographic location

Query Guidance

Use explicit value checks based on the observed encoding in your dataset, such as = 1, = 'Y', or = 'true'. When building counts or rates, filter on confirmed true values and handle nulls separately so missing data is not treated as false. If available, join with other vendor socio-economic indicator fields to avoid over-interpreting a single flag.
