Why we read it this way (9)
The role is a genuine hybrid of SQL Server DBA and SharePoint Server administration. SQL Server is the primary framing (listed first, described in more depth, and reflected in the job title), so 15-1242 Database Administrators is the primary code; 15-1244 Network and Computer Systems Administrators is the runner-up given the substantial SharePoint farm and Windows Server infrastructure scope.
The clearance requirement is an active Top Secret with SCI eligibility — a hard gate explicitly stated in the Minimum Requirements.
Degree requirement is None: the JD offers an alternative path of 7+ years of experience without a degree, or a Bachelor's with 4 years — equivalent experience is accepted in lieu of the degree, so no minimum degree is hard-required.
Total years minimum is set to 7, the experience-only path; the degree path (4 years) is an alternative, not the floor.
SharePoint Designer and InfoPath are listed in the Minimum Requirements section but alongside 'third-party utilities such as Quest and Bamboo,' framing them as experiential context rather than firm gates. They are marked preferred accordingly.
ASP.NET and C# appear in the SharePoint Administration responsibilities narrative (not in the Minimum Requirements block), so they are marked preferred.
DoD 8140 advanced-level qualification is explicitly called out as a minimum requirement.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): SQL Server Always On Availability Groups.
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.
