Why we read it this way (7)
The JD explicitly states 'no equivalencies accepted' for the Bachelor's degree requirement, making it a strict hard gate.
The role requires the ability to obtain a federal Public Trust clearance — this is not a full security clearance (Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None, but candidates must be clearable for Public Trust.
Microsoft Power Platform certifications and familiarity with VA ATO requirements appear under Preferred Qualifications and are not hard gates.
.NET and Power BI Report Server appear in the responsibilities narrative (stack context) rather than the Minimum Qualifications section; treated as preferred/contextual.
SOC confidence is Medium: the role is primarily low-code/Power Platform development, which sits closer to 15-1252 (Software Developers) than 15-1254 (Web Developers), but the SharePoint/website maintenance component introduces some ambiguity.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Power BI Report Server.
