Query Guidance
Use the field as a boolean or coded predicate in WHERE clauses, for example filtering to the affirmative code/value identified in your data extract. When aggregating, count distinct awards or obligations after applying the flag, and handle nulls explicitly with CASE or COALESCE only if the business rule defines null as not reported. If both a code and a human-readable description exist, join or select on the code for reliable filtering.
