Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping

  • Contractor profiling and competitor analysis

Common Usage

  • Filter records where the vendor site is a tribal government
  • Segment award populations for compliance or socioeconomic reporting

Query Guidance

In SQL, test the actual stored values explicitly, for example WHERE isTribalGovernment = 1 or WHERE isTribalGovernment IN ('Y','1',true) depending on the extract. If the column is nullable or coded, include null handling and verify the dataset’s value mapping before aggregating or filtering.
