HybridFull-time
We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. The posting includes duties, requirements, qualifications, benefits (some mention). No explicit pay or schedule. There's mention of "Tour of Duty: Set Schedule" but that's not specific schedule details; it's just "Set Schedule". That's not specific enough? The rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless posting actually states them. "Tour of Duty: Set Schedule" is vague; maybe we can include Schedule? It says "Set Schedule" but not details. Likely we should not create Schedule section because it's not specific. Benefits: there is a paragraph about benefits package but generic. It says "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package..." That's generic but still mentions benefits. It's not specific like health insurance, retirement. The rule: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD"). The benefits paragraph is somewhat generic but still mentions benefits. Might be considered real content? It says "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." That's still vague. Might be considered filler. Safer to omit Benefits section.
We need sections: About the role? Not present. Responsibilities? Duties section corresponds. Use for section headings. Use
for section headings. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We have duties list: many sentences. Could turn each duty into
- . Requirements: includes Conditions of employment bullet list. Also qualifications. We'll separate Requirements and Qualifications sections.
We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we need to include all details from duties, requirements, qualifications, additional info? The "Additional information" includes many things like Section 508, Reemployed Annuitants, DoD Acquisition Program Management, Cyber Workforce, Veterans info, Drug-Free Workplace Policy, etc. Those are substantive; we should include them perhaps under Requirements or a separate section like "Additional Information". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We cannot add custom headings. So we need to fit extra info into existing sections if appropriate. "Additional information" includes many conditions like citizenship, security, etc. Those are conditions of employment, could go under Requirements. The qualifications section already includes education, specialized experience. The additional info about certifications, CLPs, cyber workforce, etc. could go under Requirements or Qualifications? Probably Requirements.
We must not repeat job title as heading. No Job ID.
We must remove boilerplate like cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning, duplicated lines, application instructions. The posting includes many legal bits like Drug-Free Workplace Policy, etc. Those are not boilerplate? They are specific to job; we should keep them.
We need to output only HTML fragment.
Let's extract duties:
- Develops, plans, executes, manages, and transitions logistics Research and Development funded programs supporting DLA supply chains and strategic goals.
- Integrates manufacturing technology and Advanced Research for Testing Emerging Technology (ARTET) programs enterprise wide.
- Advises DLA senior leaders on Research and Development initiatives, policy development, and the impact of DoD and Congressional requirements.
- Interprets Research and Development regulatory guidelines and coordinates responses to Congressional, GAO, and IG investigations or audits.
- Evaluates Key Performance Indicators and process data to ensure Research and Development activities meet established DLA targets and plans.
- Determines resource requirements, assesses budget constraint impacts, and submits recommendations for Research and Development Board approval.
- Provides technical and administrative direction to subordinate Research and Development program managers and civilian staff.

That's duties.
Requirements (Conditions of employment):
- Must be a U.S. citizen
- Tour of Duty: Set Schedule
- Security Requirements: Critical-Sensitive with Top Secret Access
- 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: No
- 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.
- Must compete DoW qualifications and requirements. See Addtl. Info
- Defense Acquisition Workforce position. Must complete DoD certification and other requirements. See Addtl Info.
Also additional info: Section 508 conformant ICT, Reemployed Annuitants criteria, DoD Acquisition Program Management (A) / PM, Advanced acquisition certification within required timeframes, Selectee must also achieve 80 hours of Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) every 2-years, Position is a Defense Cyber Workforce Position and requires completion of qualification requirements within required timeframes, Information for Veterans, Military retirees waiver, Drug-Free Workplace Policy details.
We need to include all that.
Qualifications:
- Education: Applicants may not qualify for this position based on education in lieu of specialized experience
- Specialized Experience: One year of specialized experience that equipped you with the particular competencies to successfully perform the duties of the position and is directly in or related to this position.
- To qualify at the GS-15 level, applicants must possess one year of specialized experience equivalent to the GS-14 level or equivalent under other pay systems in the Federal service, military, or private sector.
- Applicants must meet eligibility requirements including time-in-grade (General Schedule (GS) positions only), time-after-competitive appointment, minimum qualifications, and any other regulatory requirements by the cut-off/closing date of the announcement.

- Developing and transitioning technology programs supporting enterprise supply chains
- Advising senior executive leadership on R&D policy and legislative requirements
- Evaluating KPIs and program performance data
- Providing supervisory directions to technical program managers.
- Experience refers to paid and unpaid experience, including volunteer work done through National Service programs (e.g., Peace Corps, AmeriCorps) and other organizations (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. You will receive credit for all qualifying experience, including volunteer experience.
- Education Substitution of education may not be used in lieu of specialized experience for this grade level.
Also mention: "Position requires DoD Acquisition Program Management (A) / PM, Advanced acquisition certification within required timeframes. Selectee must also achieve 80 hours of Continuous Learning Points (CLPs) every 2-years." That's more qualification.
Also "Position is a Defense Cyber Workforce Position and requires completion of qualification requirements within required timeframes."
We'll incorporate those into Qualifications or Requirements. Probably Qualifications.
We need to avoid filler like "See Addtl. Info". That's a reference; we should keep the info but maybe we can incorporate the referenced content (which we have). The phrase "See Addtl. Info" is filler; we should drop it but keep the substance before it.
We must not include duplicated lines.
