Why we read it this way (8)
The 'Sr. Database Administrator' title is significantly misleading relative to the actual requirements. The role gates on only 1 year of experience and a high school diploma, with an Associate's degree merely preferred — scope and qualifications align with a Junior-level position despite the 'Sr.' branding.
The role is genuinely split between database support and general computer/systems operations (user access administration, system monitoring, routine maintenance), making 15-1244 (Network and Computer Systems Administrators) a plausible alternative classification.
SQL and SharePoint appear only under a 'preferred' qualifier ('Experience with database tools, reporting tools, SharePoint, SQL, or similar data management platforms preferred'), so they are not hard gates.
Microsoft Office proficiency (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) is stated as a hard requirement in the qualifications section.
An active Secret clearance is explicitly required as a hard gate.
Government contracting experience is listed as preferred, not required.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Requires a Secret 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.
