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 awards or vendors by women-owned small business status
  • Calculate socio-economic participation shares
  • Support diversity, set-aside, and compliance reporting

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming every non-null value means yes without checking the code set
  • Using the field without confirming whether it is at the vendor site level versus award level

Query Guidance

Use this field in WHERE clauses and CASE expressions after normalizing the coded values to yes/no. For example, map the recorded flag to 1 for women-owned small business and 0 otherwise, then aggregate by obligation, count, or vendor as needed; if your extract includes description pairs, prefer the code/flag for logic and the description for display only.
