Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • award value and portfolio sizing
  • trend analysis of contract value over time
  • market and vendor concentration analysis

Common Mistakes

  • treating it as total potential value including unexercised options
  • double counting it alongside other base or option value fields

Query Guidance

Use this numeric field directly in SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX, and threshold filters after confirming the unit is dollars. In SQL, cast only if needed for your warehouse, and join/group by award identifiers before aggregating to prevent duplicate counting from multiple line or modification records.
