Why we read it this way (7)
The role is listed under two possible locations: Columbus, OH or Richmond, VA (government site). Columbus, OH is used as the primary CBSA; Richmond, VA (CBSA 40060) is an equally valid work location.
This position is explicitly contingent upon contract award — employment is not guaranteed until the contract is funded and awarded.
The '7 years of relevant IT or cybersecurity experience' is a role-level gate; the '4+ years of Comply-to-Connect / ForeScout' requirement is a named-technology gate — both are captured accordingly.
The role sits at the boundary between Information Security (15-1212) and Network/Systems Administration (15-1244); the primary focus on cybersecurity compliance enforcement, NAC policy engineering, and DoD 8570 certification requirements tips it toward 15-1212, but the heavy administration and sustainment duties make 15-1244 a credible alternative.
No compensation figures are provided in the posting.
Ignored 2 non-technology phrase(s) as skills (responsibilities/concepts, not named tools): DoD 8570/8140 IAT Level III, DoD 8570/8140 CND-IS.
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.
