Why we read it this way (8)
The role is currently listed as temporarily hybrid (on-site + remote) but is fundamentally an on-site position at the Denver MegaCenter; remote=false reflects the permanent expectation.
Clearance: no active clearance is required to start, but candidates must be able to obtain a DoD clearance and a DHS Entry on Duty (EOD) suitability determination.
Degree requirement: the JD accepts 14 years of experience in lieu of a Bachelor's degree, so no hard degree gate applies.
Total experience: the JD states 'Bachelor's Degree + 8 years of relevant experience, or 14 years without a degree'; 8 years is used as the overall years minimum (the lower bound when a degree is held).
The Microsoft certification requirement lists MCP/MCSA/MCSE as interchangeable options; one of these is required.
The CompTIA certification requirement lists A+, Network+, and/or Security+ CE as interchangeable options; at least one is required.
Scripting and ITIL Foundation appear under the 'Desired' section and are preferred, not required.
The compensation range ($99,300–$208,600/year) is unusually wide; CACI notes it reflects multiple factors including contract labor categories, which can span several seniority levels on a single posting.
