Why we read it this way (9)
This position is pending contract award in late August / early September 2026 — candidates should be aware the role may not activate until that timeframe.
The JD requires a BS degree in a technical discipline with no 'or equivalent experience' language, so a bachelor's degree is treated as a hard requirement.
CCNA is explicitly listed as 'desirable' / 'desired' in both the experience and certifications sections, so it is marked as preferred.
The role is onsite at Quantico, VA, which falls within the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD-WV CBSA.
The seniority is assessed as Mid despite 5+ years required: the described duties (monitoring, responding to alerts, troubleshooting basic issues, escalating to senior engineers, following established procedures under supervision) are characteristic of a mid-level operations role, not a senior one. The title carries no explicit level modifier.
Several items from the long technology list (MAB, Event Manager Applet, Macro Creation, TFTP, SFTP) are protocol/feature-level details rather than distinct named tools and were omitted from the skills list to avoid over-inflation; the core named platforms and protocols are captured.
The alt SOC 15-1299 is noted because the 'NetOps/ITSC' framing and the breadth of security and network engineering tasks could push this toward a more specialized network engineering classification, though day-to-day duties are primarily network administration and operations.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Cisco Firewall Management Center.
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.
