Query Guidance

Use the field in WHERE clauses after normalizing coded values to a boolean interpretation, for example by mapping accepted affirmative codes to true and everything else to false or null. Join or aggregate at the vendor, award, or IDV level as needed, and verify whether the data source stores 0/1, Y/N, or another code set before writing filters.
