Why we read it this way (8)
The role is contingent upon contract award, which may affect actual hiring timelines.
The geographic constraint (within 150 miles of a DLA location) is overridden by the caller's declaration that this is a fully-remote, national-candidate-pool role; no metro has been inferred.
The DoD 8570 IAM Level III certification requirement lists CISSP, CISM, GSLC, or CCISO as acceptable alternatives — all four are captured under a single skill with alternatives.
The clearance requirement is stated as IT-II Non-Critical Sensitive / Secret (T3); mapped to Secret.
DoD/DLA experience appears under the 'Preferred Qualifications' section and is therefore not marked as a hard gate, though it is strongly contextually relevant.
Microsoft Office appears under 'Preferred Qualifications' only.
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.
