CONTRACT SPECIALIST.

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). The posting includes "Duties" and "Requirements" and "Qualifications". Also includes "Additional information" etc. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. We have Duties content: multiple sentences. We'll put under

Responsibilities

(or Duties). Use Responsibilities as heading. Then

• for list of duties. The duties are sentences separated by periods. We can split into list items. Requirements: includes Conditions of employment etc. We'll put under

  Requirements

  and list items. Qualifications: includes Basic Requirements, specialized experience, education etc. We'll put under

  Qualifications

  and list items. We should not repeat job title. No Pay/Benefits/Schedule sections because not present. Also we should not include metadata like Job ID. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO etc. The posting includes many lines about conditions of employment, travel, security clearance, ethics orientation, etc. Those are substantive requirements, keep them. Also includes "Additional information" about PPP, ICTAP etc. That's also substantive? Might be considered additional info but not a standard heading; we could include under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably better to keep as a separate section "Additional Information". But instruction says use headings from list; but we can also create other headings if needed? It says use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It doesn't forbid other headings, but suggests those examples. Safer to stick to those headings. Additional info could be placed under Requirements or Qualifications as appropriate. Many of those are about eligibility, priority programs etc. Could be under Requirements. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must keep all details. We'll break them into list items. We must not include duplicated lines. There's duplicate line: "This position is covered under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA)." appears twice. We should keep only one instance. Also duplicate: "Certification in the Acquisition Functional Area and category assigned to the position is required within established category timeframes." and later "Certification in the Functional Area and Tier assigned to the position, along with Continuous Learning (CL) points, are required within established timeframes." Slightly different; keep both. We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. There's no explicit EEO lines but there is "Federal annuitant information", "PPP applicants", "ICTAP Applicants", "Military Spouse Preference applicants". Those are substantive? They are about hiring preferences; could be considered additional info. Might keep under Requirements or a separate section "Additional Information". Since not in list, maybe we can still include as a section with heading "Additional Information". The instruction: "use

  for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule)." It doesn't say we cannot use other headings, just gives examples. Safer to include a heading "Additional Information". It's not prohibited. We must not include application instructions. There's none. Now produce HTML fragment. Structure:
