How this req sits in the market our data
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 5, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.
Why we read it this way (8)
The posting is contingent upon contract award, so the role may not be immediately active.
The clearance requirement is stated as 'IT-I Critical Sensitive or Tier 5 (T5)' — this is a federal background investigation level equivalent to Top Secret; it is not a standard DoD TS/SCI, but it is the closest available clearance tier in the schema.
The degree requirement accepts a BS with 1 year of experience, an associate degree with 8 years, or an equivalent combination of education, certifications, and experience — no single degree is a hard gate, so the degree requirement is set to None.
Total years minimum is set to 1 (the lowest stated threshold), reflecting the BS + 1-year path; the associate degree path requires 8 years, but the posting presents these as alternatives.
CCNA and CompTIA Security+ are listed as examples of acceptable certifications ('such as … or equivalent'); they are treated as interchangeable alternatives satisfying one certification requirement rather than two separate gates.
The location is inferred as the Washington DC metro area based on the DoD/DLA federal agency context and the company's profile; no explicit city is stated in the posting.
The alternative occupation code 15-1241 (Computer Network Architects) is noted as a runner-up given the engineering, design, and architecture language in the posting, but the day-to-day work described — operating, maintaining, Tier 2 troubleshooting, shift-based administration — 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.
