We need to output HTML fragment with sections for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Only include sections that have real specific content.
We need to parse the posting.
Overview: "Join our team as a Contract Specialist and support the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Office of the Chief Financial Officer by delivering end-to-end acquisition support. You will prepare solicitations, price analyses, orders, and modifications, ensure every IMLS contract file is complete, accurate, and FAR-compliant. FWI is expanding rapidly and has been recognized as a 2024 and 2025 Top Workplace by the Washington Post, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment. Position is contingent upon contract award** Work Schedule and Location: Remote: This full-time remote position will work Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm Eastern Time. You will collaborate with the IMLS team through Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Offie 365."
We need to extract sections.
We have "Overview" which could be "About the role". So we can put About the role section with that prose.
Responsibilities: list of duties.
Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications". That's qualifications.
Qualifications: maybe "Desired FAC-C / FCP-CM certification..."? Actually "Desired FAC-C / FCP-CM certification." plus "Civilian or small-agency contracting experience." etc. That could be Qualifications or Skills. We'll treat as Qualifications.
Skills: maybe "Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Project." plus "Excellent written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and manage multiple actions at once." Could be Skills.
Benefits: list of benefits.
Pay: "Pay Range Negotiable" - that's not specific; it's placeholder. According to rule: do NOT create Pay section unless posting actually states them, and avoid filler like "negotiable" or "not specified". So we should omit Pay section.
Schedule: we have schedule info: "Remote: This full-time remote position will work Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm Eastern Time." That's specific. So we can include Schedule section.
We also have location: remote.
We need to avoid repeating job title as heading. Not include Job ID.
We need to remove boilerplate: EEO etc. At end: "FWI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, including disability/vets." That's boilerplate; remove.
Also "Position is contingent upon contract award**" maybe keep as part of About the role? It's substantive? It's a condition. Could keep.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail.
Let's extract each piece.
About the role (Overview): "Join our team as a Contract Specialist and support the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) Office of the Chief Financial Officer by delivering end-to-end acquisition support. You will prepare solicitations, price analyses, orders, and modifications, ensure every IMLS contract file is complete, accurate, and FAR-compliant. FWI is expanding rapidly and has been recognized as a 2024 and 2025 Top Workplace by the Washington Post, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment. Position is contingent upon contract award."
We might also include the remote work schedule? Actually schedule separate.
Responsibilities: list:
- Conduct market research and support acquisition planning for simplified and large acquisitions at IMLS.
- Draft solicitations and issue open-market purchase orders under the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (FAR Part 12).
- Prepare task, delivery, and call orders under FAR 8.4 and 16.5, including GSA Schedule orders.
- Execute option exercises (FAR 17.2), bilateral modifications, and contract closeouts.
- Write price analyses, Memos to File, and Summaries for Award, and build audit-ready contract files.
- Prepare and complete CPARS past performance evaluations for current IMLS contracts.
- Serve as a hands-on partner to the IMLS Contracting Officer and program offices, and report weekly on actions and progress.
Requirements: maybe "Required Qualifications" includes:
- Bachelor's degree (4-year) from an accredited university.
- At least 24 semester hours in accounting, law, business, finance, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management.
- A transcript is required.
- 4+ years of federal contracting experience (GS-1102 Contract Specialist or equivalent).
- COR experience does not qualify.
- Demonstrated experience with all of the following:
- SAT purchase orders (FAR Part 12)
- task and delivery orders (FAR 8.4/16.5)
- option modifications (FAR 17.2)
- closeouts and supplemental agreements
- price analyses, award summaries, and contract file documentation
- CPARS evaluations
- Strong knowledge of the FAR and federal acquisition systems.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Project.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and manage multiple actions at once.
But some of those are skills; but we can keep them under Requirements.
Qualifications (Desired): maybe:
- Desired FAC-C / FCP-CM certification.
- Civilian or small-agency contracting experience.
- Experience handling fiscal year-end award surges.
Skills: maybe separate but we already included proficiency etc. Could move those to Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's decide:
Section "Requirements": the mandatory qualifications (degree, hours, transcript, years experience, COR not qualify, demonstrated experience list, strong knowledge of FAR). That seems like requirements.
Section "Qualifications": desired/certifications etc.
Section "Skills": proficiency in MS Office, communication etc.
But the posting lumps proficiency and communication under Required Qualifications. However we can still separate as per instruction: we can create sections only if there is real specific content. We have content for each.
Let's extract:
Requirements (mandatory):
- Bachelor's degree (4-year) from an accredited university.
- At least 24 semester hours in accounting, law, business, finance, contracts, purchasing, economics, industrial management, marketing, quantitative methods, or organization and management.
- A transcript is required.
- 4+ years of federal contracting experience (GS-1102 Contract Specialist or equivalent).
- COR experience does not qualify.
- Demonstrated experience with all of the following:
- SAT purchase orders (FAR Part 12)
- task and delivery orders (FAR 8.4/16.5)
- option modifications (FAR 17.2)
- closeouts and supplemental agreements
- price analyses, award summaries, and contract file documentation
- CPARS evaluations
- Strong knowledge of the FAR and federal acquisition systems.
Qualifications (desired):
- Desired FAC-C / FCP-CM certification.
- Civilian or small-agency contracting experience.
- Experience handling fiscal year-end award surges.
Skills:
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Project.
- Excellent written and verbal communication, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and manage multiple actions at once.
Benefits:
List:
- Health Insurance

- Vision Insurance
- Long-term and Short-term Disability Insurance
- Life Insurance
- 401(k) Plan
- Holiday Pay
- Paid Time Off
Schedule:
- Remote: This full-time remote position will work Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 5pm Eastern Time.
- You will collaborate with the IMLS team through Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Offie 365.
Note: "Offie 365" likely typo for Office 365 but we keep as is.
Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings for each section, and
for each section, and - for lists,
for prose.
We must not include empty sections.
Let's craft.
About the role: prose paragraph(s). Could be two paragraphs: first overview, second about FWI and contingent award.
We'll combine.
Responsibilities: list.
Requirements: list (some items have sublist). We'll need to handle nested lists? The instruction: use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. For demonstrated experience list, we can make a sublist.
We'll produce:
