FPDS Query flattens the original nested FPDS XML path 'OtherTransactionIDV/contractDetail/vendor/vendorSiteDetails/vendorBusinessTypes/businessOrOrganizationType/isInternationalOrganization' into the SQL-ready variable 'content__OtherTransactionIDV__contractDetail__vendor__vendorSiteDetails__vendorBusinessTypes__businessOrOrganizationType__isInternationalOrganization'.

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 records where the vendor is classified as an international organization
  • Segment supplier profiles by organization type for compliance or reporting
  • Exclude or isolate international organizations in domestic vendor analyses

Common Mistakes

  • Interpreting the flag as nationality or country of performance instead of vendor organization type
  • Assuming the stored value is always numeric when some extracts may use text codes

Query Guidance

Use explicit comparisons against the observed true value in the extract, and confirm whether null means unknown or not applicable. Example pattern: WHERE isInternationalOrganization IN ('1','Y',1) after validating the source encoding; if a companion description exists, use it to verify classification and avoid misreading coded values.
