Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Contractor profiling and competitor analysis

Common Usage

  • Filter awards to vendors classified as small agricultural cooperatives
  • Count or trend awards involving this vendor type over time
  • Segment procurement analyses by vendor business type

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the field identifies all agricultural vendors rather than only those flagged as small agricultural cooperatives
  • Treating null, blank, or nonstandard codes as false without checking source conventions

Query Guidance

Use an explicit predicate such as = 1, = 'Y', or the dataset's documented true code, and confirm the accepted code set in your extract. When aggregating, separate false from unknown/null so the absence of a flag is not misread as a negative classification.
