Like:

=sumif(a1:a10,"="&$c13,b1:b10)

I think that the originator wanted to be explicit with what he/she was doing.

This would have been sufficient:
=sumif(a1:a10,$c13,b1:b10)

But by including the "=" in that criteria, it would be easy to see how to change
it to not equal or greater than or less than:

=sumif(a1:a10,"<"&$c13,b1:b10)
=sumif(a1:a10,""&$c13,b1:b10)
=sumif(a1:a10,"<"&$c13,b1:b10)

=====
But the original formula is still just checking each cell in the first range and
comparing it to the value in the criteria ($c13) and summing that 2nd range.

I am trying to debug a spreadhseet and have come across this formula in
the middle of a sumif calc:

"="&$C13

I am struggling with the "=" and the &. Can someone provide some
guidance?
