Why we read it this way (9)
The role is titled 'Systems Administrator II', where 'II' signals a mid-level position; the 3-year minimum experience requirement and Tier 2 escalation scope are consistent with a Mid-level band.
No security clearance is required to start; the posting notes that clearance eligibility (ability to obtain a DoD clearance) is a preferred plus for future contract needs — this is not a hard gate.
The minimum education requirement is a High School Diploma or equivalent; an associate's or bachelor's degree is listed only as preferred, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Microsoft 365 GCC High / GCC experience appears under 'Preferred Qualifications' and is marked accordingly, despite being central to the role's environment.
NIST SP 800-171, CMMC Level 2, and DFARS familiarity are explicitly listed as a 'plus' under preferred qualifications.
Azure Government is the preferred variant called out, but Azure broadly is listed as a preferred skill; Azure Government is not broken out separately as it is a deployment variant rather than a distinct separately-marketed product.
Certifications (CompTIA Security+, MD-102, MS-102, SC-300, AZ-104) are listed as preferred; the most common/canonical is used as the primary skill name with the others as alternatives.
The alt SOC 15-1212 (Information Security Analysts) is noted as a runner-up given the strong CMMC/NIST compliance and CUI-handling emphasis, but the primary day-to-day work is clearly systems administration of M365 tenants.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): Microsoft 365 GCC High, NIST SP 800-171.
