How this req sits in the market our data

What the occupation pays Median $89,853 (middle half $72,807–$105,888). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

The experience requirement is tiered by education: 12 years (HS diploma), 10 years (Associate's), 8 years (Bachelor's), or 6 years (Master's). The overall years minimum is set to 8 as the most common baseline (Bachelor's equivalent), but candidates with less formal education must bring up to 12 years.

The DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II certification is a hard gate; the posting lists Security+, CCNA Security, CySA+, GICSP, GSEC, and SSCP as acceptable examples — any one of these satisfies the requirement.

DoD 8140 Work Role Code 451 (System Administrator – Intermediate) compliance by 1 Oct 2026 is listed under Desired Qualifications, making it preferred rather than an immediate gate.

The role is on-site at Fort Bragg (now Fort Liberty), NC — no remote work is indicated for this government contract position.

An active TS/SCI clearance is a hard gate explicitly stated in the qualifications.

Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570.01-M IAT Level II.

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.
