Why we read it this way (9)
This role is contingent upon contract award, which is a meaningful fillability risk — the position may not open.
The title 'Geospatial Developer' sits between a pure GIS analyst (15-1299) and a software developer (15-1252); the JD emphasizes building applications and spatial workflows with scripting, which leans toward 15-1252, but the dominant day-to-day work described is GIS analysis and data management, so 15-1299 was chosen with 15-1252 as the runner-up.
The clearance requirement is framed as 'ability to pass public trust clearance or suitability' — this is a suitability/background check, not a formal US security clearance (Confidential/Secret/TS), so the clearance requirement is set to None.
ArcGIS, ArcGIS Pro, and ArcGIS Online are listed under Required Experience as distinct named products and are treated as hard gates. MapInfo and comparable tools are listed as alternatives to the broader ArcGIS platform requirement.
Palantir, Tableau, Power Automate, SharePoint, PowerApps, Planet, and XCAL all appear in the responsibilities/tools narrative rather than under a firm requirements gate, so they are marked preferred.
GIS scripting (e.g., Python for ArcGIS/arcpy) is implied by the explicit requirement for 'using scripts to process large databases supporting GIS' but no specific scripting language is named.
No compensation range is stated in the posting.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): spatial analysis.
This posting reads as a fully-remote role, so it was scored against the national candidate pool rather than a single metro.
