Why we read it this way (5)
The posting states 'Must be able to obtain and maintain a Public Trust / Moderate Risk clearance.' This is a suitability determination, not a US national security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None. Hiring managers should note this background investigation requirement separately.
The role is listed as 'Contingent Upon Award,' meaning the position may not be funded until a contract is won.
Location is Washington D.C., Kansas, or Remote — the D.C. metro CBSA is used as the primary location given the federal VA/DoD program context.
Cerner (Oracle Health) experience is explicitly flagged as 'strongly preferred,' not required, so it is marked as preferred.
The JD names no specific programming languages, frameworks, or tooling beyond HL7/FHIR and Cerner — the skills list reflects only what is concretely named.
