We need to output HTML fragment with sections: Duties (maybe heading "Responsibilities"? The instruction says use for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content.
We have Duties (list of duties). We have Requirements (conditions of employment, etc). We have Qualifications (specialized experience, education). Also there is Additional information (but that's boilerplate maybe). We need to remove boilerplate: cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. Also remove duplicated lines like repeated DAWIA sentence.
We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract duties, requirements, qualifications.
We need to format duties as

We need to preserve all substantive information. So we need to extract duties, requirements, qualifications.
We need to format duties as - . Requirements as
- . Qualifications as
- . Possibly also Education as sublist? But we can include within Qualifications.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. There's mention of benefits in Additional information: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic, not specific. The instruction says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits but not specifics; it's generic. Likely we should not include Benefits section because it's not specific. Also no Pay or Schedule.
Thus sections: Responsibilities (or Duties), Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to use
for each section heading.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract duties:
From text:
"Duties You will serve as the Senior Contracting Officer responsible for the planning, negotiation, placement, and administration of research and development contract acquisition, other transaction and assistance actionsYou will provide guidance and counsel to technical Department Heads and program officers on matters such as impact of new acquisitions laws/regulations, proper use of assistance instruments and conformance requirements for special programs.You will be responsible for determining the proper instrument for meeting program objectives.You will draft internal instructions and point papers on emerging issues.You will be responsible for preparation of all pre-award documentation.You will coordinate with the senior Acquisition Department to ensure proper representation of ONR perspectives."
We need to split into list items. Each sentence seems a duty.
List:
- Serve as the Senior Contracting Officer responsible for the planning, negotiation, placement, and administration of research and development contract acquisition, other transaction and assistance actions.
- Provide guidance and counsel to technical Department Heads and program officers on matters such as impact of new acquisitions laws/regulations, proper use of assistance instruments and conformance requirements for special programs.
- Responsible for determining the proper instrument for meeting program objectives.
- Draft internal instructions and point papers on emerging issues.
- Responsible for preparation of all pre-award documentation.
- Coordinate with the senior Acquisition Department to ensure proper representation of ONR perspectives.
Now Requirements:
From text after "Requirements Conditions of employment". Let's extract:
"Must be a US Citizen.
Must be determined suitable for federal employment.
Must participate in the direct deposit pay program.
New employees to the Department of the Navy will be required to successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check.
To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov
This position is covered under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). Certification in the Acquisition Functional Area and category assigned to the position is required within established category timeframes.
Within the Department of Defense (DoD), the appointment of retired military members within 180 days immediately following retirement date to a civilian position is subject to the provisions of 5 United States Code 3326.
Males born after 12-31-59 must be registered for Selective Service.
This position is covered under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). Certification in the Acquisition Functional Area and category assigned to the position is required within established category timeframes. (duplicate)
You will be required to obtain and maintain an interim and/or final security clearance prior to entrance on duty. Failure to obtain and maintain the required level of clearance may result in the withdrawal of a job offer or removal."
We need to remove duplicated lines: duplicate DAWIA sentence appears twice; keep one.
Also "To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov" is maybe a link; we can keep as part of requirement but it's a URL; still substantive.
We should also maybe remove "Conditions of employment" heading? Not needed.
List items:
- Must be a US Citizen.
- Must be determined suitable for federal employment.
- Must participate in the direct deposit pay program.
- New employees to the Department of the Navy will be required to successfully pass the E-Verify employment verification check.
- To learn more about E-Verify, including your rights and responsibilities, visit e-verify.gov
- This position is covered under the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act (DAWIA). Certification in the Acquisition Functional Area and category assigned to the position is required within established category timeframes.

- You will be required to obtain and maintain an interim and/or final security clearance prior to entrance on duty. Failure to obtain and maintain the required level of clearance may result in the withdrawal of a job offer or removal.
Now Qualifications:
From text after "Qualifications". Let's extract:
"In addition to the Basic Requirements for this position, your resume must also demonstrate at least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-13 equivalent) or pay band in the federal service or equivalent experience in the private or public sector in order to perform the duties of a Contract Specialized. Specialized experience must include some or all of the following: 1) Performing advanced cost analysis on complicated pricing schemes utilizing multiple vendors for R&D proposals received under a Long Range BAA; 2) Negotiating extensive terms and conditions (including cost and price) based on the pre-negotiation objective and award execution after obtaining required reviews and approvals; 3) Demonstrating extensive experience and knowledge with FAR Part 35, Research and Development Contracting; 4) Awarding other transaction agreements for prototypes; and 5) Demonstrating skill in using job-relevant information systems and/or software applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets, automated research tools, database applications, Gemini Enterprise and the Internet. Applicant must meet the following Department of Defense qualification requirements for 1102 contracting positions: And The Title 10 Requirements Found Here Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., professional, philanthropic, religious, spiritual, community, student, social). Volunteer work helps build critical competencies, knowledge, and skills and can provide valuable training and experience that translates directly to paid employment. Education Applicants must meet the following Basic Education Requirement of the Department of Defense Qualification Standard for Contracting Positions: A bachelor's degree from an accredited educational institution authorized to grant baccalaureate degrees. NOTE: The education requirement listed above applies only to individuals entering DoD GS-1102 positions on or after October 1, 2000. Current civilian personnel in DoD who occupied GS-1102 positions or contracting positions with authority to award or administer contracts above the simplified acquisition threshold in an Executive Department on or before September 30, 2000 are exempt from meeting this requirement. Current military members who occupied a similar occupational specialty to the GS (or equivalent) 1102 or before September 30, 2000 are also exempt from meeting this requirement."
We need to preserve substantive info. Remove boilerplate like "And The Title 10 Requirements Found Here" maybe it's a heading but not substantive; but it's part of qualifications. Might keep as a sentence? It seems like a fragment; but we can keep as is.
We need to list specialized experience items as list.
Also education requirements.
Thus Qualifications section could have two sublists: Specialized Experience and Education.
But we can just make a single list with items; but better to separate.
We'll output:
Qualifications
- At least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-13 equivalent) or pay band in federal service or equivalent experience in private/public sector.
- Specialized experience must include some or all of the following:

Current military members who occupied a similar occupational specialty to the GS (or equivalent) 1102 or before September 30, 2000 are also exempt from meeting this requirement.
But we need to avoid nested inside - ? It's allowed but maybe better to keep flat. However instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. It didn't forbid nested lists. But to keep simple, we could flatten specialized experience items as separate
- under Qualifications.
Thus:
Qualifications
- At least one year of specialized experience equivalent to the next lower grade level (GS-13 equivalent) or pay band in federal service or equivalent experience in private/public sector.
- Specialized experience must include some or all of the following: Performing advanced cost analysis on complicated pricing schemes utilizing multiple vendors for R&D proposals received under a Long Range BAA; Negotiating extensive terms and conditions (including cost and price) based on the pre-negotiation objective and award execution after obtaining required reviews and approvals; Demonstrating extensive experience and knowledge with FAR Part 35, Research and Development Contracting; Awarding other transaction agreements for prototypes; Demonstrating skill in using job-relevant information systems and/or software applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets, automated research tools, database applications, Gemini Enterprise and the Internet.

- . Qualifications as

We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must not include Pay/Schedule/Benefits unless posting actually states them. There's mention of benefits in Additional information: "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's generic, not specific. The instruction says never create Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. It mentions benefits but not specifics; it's generic. Likely we should not include Benefits section because it's not specific. Also no Pay or Schedule.
Thus sections: Responsibilities (or Duties), Requirements, Qualifications.
We need to use
for each section heading. We need to output only HTML fragment. Let's extract duties: From text: "Duties You will serve as the Senior Contracting Officer responsible for the planning, negotiation, placement, and administration of research and development contract acquisition, other transaction and assistance actionsYou will provide guidance and counsel to technical Department Heads and program officers on matters such as impact of new acquisitions laws/regulations, proper use of assistance instruments and conformance requirements for special programs.You will be responsible for determining the proper instrument for meeting program objectives.You will draft internal instructions and point papers on emerging issues.You will be responsible for preparation of all pre-award documentation.You will coordinate with the senior Acquisition Department to ensure proper representation of ONR perspectives."
