How this req sits in the market our data

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The role is primarily systems/infrastructure operations (installing IAVAs, ACAS scans, certificate management, backup, STIG compliance, datacenter ops) rather than building new software, which is why 15-1244 is preferred over 15-1252. However, the scripting requirement (Bash/PowerShell/Python) and automation emphasis add some ambiguity.
Two experience thresholds are stated: '5+ years of technical problem-solving experience' and '8+ years IT systems administration experience.' The higher figure (8 years) is used as the overall years minimum as it is the more specific and binding role-level gate.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II+ certification is required; Security+, Network+, and CISSP are listed as examples. Security+ is captured as the primary with the others as alternatives.
AWS and Government Cloud experience appear in the required section with no specific cloud platform named beyond AWS; Azure Government and GCP are listed as alternatives reflecting common Government Cloud equivalents.
Bash, PowerShell, and Python are listed together as a scripting requirement; Bash is captured as primary with PowerShell and Python as alternatives since the JD treats them interchangeably.
ACAS, HBSS, STIG, VMware vSphere/vCenter/ESXi, and CompTIA Cloud+/Server+ appear under the 'Desired' section and are marked as preferred accordingly.
The salary range ($75,200–$158,100/year) is unusually wide, which CACI attributes to factors including geographic location and Federal contract wage rates.
Requires a Secret clearance — the cleared population is a small fraction of this occupation, so the real candidate pool is materially smaller than the estimate below, which does not model clearance.
