Use Cases

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

Common Usage

  • Aggregate obligations or awards by corporate parent
  • Map subsidiary vendors to an ownership group
  • Support affiliation, concentration, and vendor network analysis

Common Mistakes

  • Using the name as a unique key instead of the UEI
  • Assuming the value is always standardized across records

Query Guidance

Use this field for display, filtering, and parent-level rollups after cleaning text variants; join or de-duplicate on the paired UEI when possible. In SQL, group by a normalized version of the name only when a unique parent identifier is unavailable, and prefer COALESCE with the parent UEI name from related records to handle nulls.
