Why we read it this way (7)
The posting requires DoDD 8140.01 certification alongside Security+ as hard gates under Required Qualifications; both are listed as must-have.
eMASS and XACTA are listed as interchangeable tools under Desired Qualifications, so they are marked preferred with each other as alternatives.
GSEC, SCNP, SSCP, and CISSP all appear under Desired Qualifications and are marked preferred; CISSP is listed as the primary with the others as alternatives since the posting groups them together.
A Bachelor's degree in IT or Cybersecurity is listed as desired with 'or equivalent related experience' accepted, so no hard degree requirement is set.
The salary range ($90,000–$105,000/year) is explicitly stated as Colorado-specific.
The role is fully onsite at Peterson SFB, Colorado Springs, CO — no remote option is indicated.
Requires a TS/SCI 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.
