Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Contractor profiling and competitor analysis

Common Usage

  • Count awards to vendors flagged as small agricultural cooperatives
  • Segment vendor populations by agricultural cooperative status
  • Support compliance or socioeconomic reporting filters

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming 0 always means false without checking the dataset’s code convention
  • Using this field as a standalone indicator of overall vendor size or eligibility

Query Guidance

Filter on the positive flag value after confirming the code mapping in your extract; for example, use the field in WHERE clauses to isolate cooperative vendors and in CASE expressions to build counts or percentages. If the field is stored as a code flag, normalize values first and join to any companion description field only when needed for display.
