Why we read it this way (6)
The JD explicitly states 'no equivalencies accepted' for the Bachelor's degree requirement — this is a hard gate with no experience-in-lieu option.
The clearance requirement is a federal Public Trust (not a national-security clearance), so the clearance requirement is set to None; however, candidates must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance and must be US work-authorized without sponsorship.
The 4+ years figure is stated at the role level tied specifically to '.NET Core MVC and C#' — captured both as the overall years minimum and as the years demanded on those skills.
.NET Framework v4.8 and JavaScript/CSS appear in the responsibilities section as technologies actively used; they are treated as required given the firm coding duties described.
Azure DevOps appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
