Why we read it this way (7)
The posting lists Washington D.C. and Kansas as primary locations, with remote work contingent upon contract award — remote flag is set to true based on that explicit statement.
The clearance requirement is 'must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust / Moderate Risk' — this is not a standard US national security clearance tier (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note the Public Trust suitability requirement separately.
CISSP and CISM are listed as 'preferred' certifications, not hard gates, so they are marked as preferred. They are captured as a single skill with CISM as an alternative since the posting treats them as interchangeable.
Cerner (Oracle Health) experience and prior VA EHRM involvement are described as 'strongly preferred,' not required — marked as preferred accordingly.
FIPS 140-2 and FIPS 140-3 are listed together in the posting; captured as one skill with 140-3 as an alternative since they represent successive versions of the same standard.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
The posting notes the role is 'contingent upon award,' indicating this may be a proposal or pre-award hire.
