Comparison Summary
FPDS Query flattens the original nested FPDS XML path 'OtherTransactionIDV/contractDetail/consortiaInformation/primaryConsortiaMemberUEI' into the SQL-ready variable 'content__OtherTransactionIDV__contractDetail__consortiaInformation__primaryConsortiaMemberUEI'.

Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • Linking an Other Transaction IDV to the primary consortium participant
  • Aggregating awards by lead consortium member
  • Identifying consortium participation patterns across entities

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming the UEI is the award recipient name instead of an entity key
  • Joining on a reformatted or legacy identifier rather than the exact stored UEI

Query Guidance

Use this field as a join key to entity lookup tables and group-by dimensions. In SQL, compare it exactly as a string, preserve leading/trailing characters as stored, and coalesce or filter nulls explicitly when counting consortium-linked records.
