Rare in this occupation — lead with these, and say what you built with them.
What the occupation pays Median $128,188 (middle half $100,819–$156,589). This posting is about at that midpoint.
Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Aug 3, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
This role is contingent upon contract award with an estimated start date of 11/1/2026.
Multiple work locations are listed across several states (VA, MI, OH, PA, AL, NC, GA, UT); Fort Belvoir, VA is listed first and is the primary DLA headquarters location, so the DC metro CBSA is used as the primary geography.
The posting requires candidates to already hold a High Risk/Critical Sensitive Tier 5/SSBI (Top Secret) investigation at time of proposal — this is a hard gate, not merely an ability to obtain one.
DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level III certification (CISSP, CISM, or equivalent) is listed as a hard requirement; CISSP and CISM are captured as interchangeable alternatives satisfying that gate.
CCNP Enterprise and Check Point CCSE are both listed as required certifications for key personnel.
AWS Cloud Practitioner, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals, and CompTIA Cloud certifications are listed under 'Preferred certifications' and are marked accordingly.
The alt SOC (15-1252) was considered because the role includes some engineering planning and design work, but the dominant day-to-day activity is operating, configuring, and maintaining existing DLA network infrastructure, which aligns more closely with 15-1244.
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.
