Why we read it this way (7)
The role is firmly on-site at Patuxent River, MD (NAS Patuxent River / St. Mary's County area), which falls in the California-Lexington Park, MD CBSA (15680).
An active Top Secret clearance is explicitly stated as required prior to start — this is a hard gate.
The experience range given is 4–8 years; the overall years minimum is set to the lower bound of 4.
STIG implementation and ACAS vulnerability scanning appear in the Responsibilities section rather than a formal Required Qualifications block, so they are marked as preferred rather than hard gates. However, given the cybersecurity-heavy nature of the role, these are practically important.
PowerShell and Batch scripting are listed together as alternatives for the scripting/automation requirement and appear in Responsibilities, not Required Qualifications, so they are marked preferred.
The role has a meaningful cybersecurity compliance component (STIG, ACAS, vulnerability remediation), which creates some ambiguity with 15-1212 Information Security Analysts; however, the primary day-to-day work is Windows systems administration, so 15-1244 is the primary classification.
Requires a Top 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.
