Why we read it this way (6)
Clearance requirement is TS/SCI with both polygraphs — the most restrictive variant of TS/SCI; this will significantly constrain the candidate pool.
Experience requirement is stated with multiple paths: Bachelor's + 10 years, no degree + 15 years, or 10 years of SA experience in programs of similar scope. The minimum (10 years) is used for the overall years minimum. Despite the note stating a Bachelor's degree 'is required,' the body of the qualifications explicitly offers non-degree substitution paths, so the degree requirement is treated as None.
DoD 8570 IAT Level II certification is a hard gate per the LCAT qualifications section; common certifications satisfying this level include Security+ CE, CCNA Security, and CySA+, but no specific cert is named.
Fort Meade, MD falls within the Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD CBSA.
Ignored 1 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570 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.
