The position spans four possible specializations — enterprise RMF leadership, security control assessment, continuous monitoring and vulnerability management, or operational technology and cloud security — each requiring a Secret clearance, IAM Level III certification, and at least five years of DoD cybersecurity experience. It suits seasoned federal cybersecurity professionals with deep RMF and NIST 800-53 backgrounds.

Why we read it this way (8)
This posting describes four distinct Key Personnel (KP) roles (KP-1 through KP-4) under a single job listing, each with its own minimum requirements. The extracted requirements represent the union of hard gates across all four roles; a candidate would only need to satisfy the requirements of the specific KP role they are applying for.
The 5-year experience minimum is drawn from all four KP roles, each of which independently requires five years of DoD/RMF cybersecurity experience.
CISSP and IAM Level III certification are required across all four KP roles. CAP and CISA appear in KP-1 and KP-2 respectively; ACAS, STIG, POA&M governance, and SecurityX (formerly CASP+) appear in KP-3; CCSP or AWS/Azure security certification appears in KP-4.
eMASS administration experience is listed under KP-1's minimum requirements. OT/ICS security experience and cloud authorization experience are listed under KP-4's minimum requirements but are not extracted as separate skills since they are domain knowledge rather than named tools.
The role is contingent upon contract award, which may affect actual hiring timelines.
Remote work is permitted but candidates must reside within 150 miles of the DLA Battle Creek, MI location.
Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, MS Project) appears only under Preferred Qualifications.
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.
