Contract Specialist (12 Month Register).

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe heading "Responsibilities"? The instruction: use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content accordingly. We have "Duties" content: list of responsibilities. So heading

Responsibilities

then

• each duty. We have "Requirements Conditions of employment" content: many items: Must be a U.S. citizen, Tour of Duty: Full-Time, Flexible, Security Requirements: Tier 3/Non-Critical Sensitive, Appointment subject to completion of favorable suitability or fitness determination, FLSA Exempt, Selective Service Requirement, Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized, Bargaining Unit Status: Yes, Selectees required to have REAL ID, Financial Disclosure: Required, Defense Acquisition Workforce position. Must complete DoD certification and other requirements. Also "Additional information" later includes Defense Acquisition Workforce: Position requires DoD Acquisition Contracting (C/CON), Professional (Foundational) level certification within required timeframes. Selectee must also achieve 80 hours of Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) every 2-years. We need to decide which sections to include: "Requirements" heading for conditions of employment? Could also include "Qualifications" heading for qualifications section. "Skills" maybe not present. "Benefits" maybe mention benefits package later: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." but no specifics. The instruction: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits package but not specific; it's vague. Likely we should not create Benefits section because no concrete benefits listed. Similarly Pay and Schedule: we have Tour of Duty: Full-Time, Flexible (that's schedule). So we could include Schedule section with that detail. Pay: not mentioned. So omit Pay. We need to include "Qualifications" heading with the qualification details (basic contracting requirement, specialized experience, education substitution, combination, etc). Also "Requirements" heading with conditions of employment (citizenship, tour of duty, security, etc). Also maybe "Additional Information" could be part of Qualifications or Requirements? The "Additional information" includes Defense Acquisition Workforce certification requirement, CLPs, etc. That seems like part of Qualifications or Requirements. Could be included under Qualifications as additional requirement. But we already have Qualifications covering education/experience; we could add a subsection under Qualifications for certification. However instruction: prefer few substantive sections over many thin ones. So maybe combine certification into Qualifications. We also have "Additional information" about Reemployed Annuitants, Drug-Free Workplace Policy, etc. Those are boilerplate? The instruction says remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Drug-Free Workplace Policy maybe legal boilerplate; but it's specific to DLA. Might be considered boilerplate? It's a policy statement; likely we should remove as it's not substantive job content. Similarly "Additional guidance on writing a federal resume" etc. Remove. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to keep the specifics: e.g., "Must be a U.S. citizen", "Tour of Duty: Full-Time, Flexible", "Security Requirements: Tier 3/Non-Critical Sensitive", "Appointment is subject to the completion of a favorable suitability or fitness determination, where reciprocity cannot be applied; unfavorably adjudicated background checks will be grounds for removal.", "Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA): Exempt", "Selective Service Requirement: Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered or exempt from Selective Service.", "Recruitment Incentives: Not Authorized", "Bargaining Unit Status: Yes", "Selectees are required to have a REAL ID or other acceptable identification documents to access certain federal facilities. See https://www.tsa.gov/real-id for more information.", "Financial Disclosure: Required", "Defense Acquisition Workforce position. Must complete DoD certification and other requirements. Please see the 'Additional Information' section." Also the Additional Information about certification and CLPs. We need to avoid duplication: there is mention of Defense Acquisition Workforce position twice; we can combine. Now format. We'll output:
