Contract Specialist.

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: duties, requirements, qualifications, maybe benefits? The posting mentions benefits in a paragraph: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." but no specifics. According to rules: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Benefits: they mention comprehensive benefits package but no specifics; that's vague. Probably not include Benefits section because no specific details. Pay/Schedule: not mentioned. So we include sections: Duties (as

Duties

), Requirements (maybe Conditions of employment?), Qualifications (Basic Contracting Requirement etc). Also maybe "Additional information" could be part of Qualifications or separate? The instruction: Use

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use Duties as heading? They gave example headings but we can use Duties. Use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to list duties as bullet list. Requirements: list conditions of employment as bullet list? Probably yes. Qualifications: list bullet points. We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The text includes many boilerplate like "Click As required by 5 C.F.R..." etc. Need to filter.

Additional guidance on writing a federal resume can be found at: Candidates should be committed to improving the efficiency of the Federal government, passionate about the ideals of our American republic, and committed to upholding the rule of law and the United States Constitution. A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package. As a federal employee, you and your family will have access to a range of benefits that are designed to make your federal career very rewarding. Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered. We need to remove boilerplate: many lines like "Click As required by 5 C.F.R..." etc. Also "For Important General Applicant Information And Definitions Go To ..." etc. Also "Information For Veterans Is Available At" etc. Also "Drug-Free Workplace Policy" etc. Also "Additional guidance on writing a federal resume can be found at:" etc. Also "Candidates should be committed..." etc. Also "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." maybe we keep as it's substantive? It mentions benefits but not specific; but it's still substantive description of benefits. However rule: include a section only when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. The posting does state "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's a statement about benefits, albeit vague but still states there is a benefits package. It's not placeholder like "not specified". It says comprehensive benefits package. So we could include a Benefits section with that sentence. However they also say "Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered." That's also generic but still mentions benefits. I'd say we can include a Benefits section with that paragraph. But we must avoid boilerplate like "Click As required by 5 C.F.R..." etc. Also "For Important General Applicant Information And Definitions Go To" etc. Also "Information For Veterans Is Available At" etc. Also "Additional guidance on writing a federal resume can be found at:" etc. Also "Candidates should be committed..." maybe that's not boilerplate but it's a value statement; could be kept? It's not a duty/requirement/qualification/benefit. It's more like a statement about candidate attributes. Might be considered boilerplate? Not sure. Safer to omit. We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to keep the duties list, requirements list, qualifications list (including basic contracting requirement, contracting officer basic requirement, specialized experience list, education substitution, graduate education, foreign education, additional info about DoD certification, CLPs, drug testing policy, etc). Also the "Additional information" about DoD Acquisition
