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 to appropriate headings. The posting includes Duties (list of duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (specialized experience, education), Additional information (benefits, moving expenses, etc). We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info.

for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we need to map content to appropriate headings. The posting includes Duties (list of duties), Requirements (conditions of employment), Qualifications (specialized experience, education), Additional information (benefits, moving expenses, etc). We need to include sections only when there is real specific content. We must not repeat job title. No Job ID etc. Remove boilerplate like EEO, legal, etc. We need to preserve all substantive info.
We need to decide headings: For duties, we can use Responsibilities
(or Duties). The instruction says e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we can use Responsibilities for duties. Requirements heading for conditions of employment. Qualifications heading for qualifications (specialized experience, education). Benefits heading for moving expenses, benefits package mention. Pay heading? The posting mentions "Pay for first time hires to the Federal Government will typically be set at step 1 salary range for their respective grade level." That's pay info. So we can include Pay heading. Schedule? Not mentioned. Skills? Not explicit. Could omit.
We need to use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So for duties list, we need
- . For requirements list (conditions of employment) also list. For qualifications maybe list? It includes specialized experience definitions, education substitution, etc. Could be list. Benefits list includes moving expenses, benefits package, etc.
We must preserve all substantive information, not invent or summarize away detail. Must not include filler like "commensurate with experience". We need to avoid placeholder.
We need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. So we need to strip out sections like "HOW YOU WILL BE EVALUATED, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS, HOW TO APPLY and NEXT STEPS", "Additional information" maybe partly keep substantive like moving expenses, benefits, etc. Also remove lines about "This Job Opportunity Announcement is using an additional online assessment tool..." etc. That's application instructions; remove. Also remove "For Entry At The Gs-11 ..."? That's qualifications, keep. But need to remove duplicated lines.
We need to be careful to keep all substantive info: duties, requirements (conditions of employment), qualifications (specialized experience definitions for GS-11 and GS-12, education substitution, certification requirement, etc), benefits (moving expenses paid, benefits package, etc), pay (step 1 salary range). Also maybe mention "Travel requirement is occasional." That could be under Schedule? Not exactly schedule but maybe under Responsibilities? Could be a separate note but we can include under Responsibilities as a bullet? Might be better to include under Responsibilities as a bullet: "Travel requirement is occasional." Also "This position is exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act." That's maybe under Requirements? Could be under Requirements as a condition. Also "This position is not covered by a bargaining unit." Could be under Requirements. Also "Priority Placement Program (PPP) Military Spouse Preference (MSP) eligible candidates will receive priority consideration..." That's maybe under Requirements? Could be under Requirements as a note. Also "Retired Civil Service Employee: Employment of retired Federal employees receiving an annuity is subject to the requirements of the Department of Defense (DoD) policy guidance." That's also requirement. Also "Security Designation varies dependent upon position and may require a secret clearance or higher. Employment requires a background investigation which may delay starting date. If selected and cannot obtain a favorable security determination within a reasonable period of time, the employment offer may be withdrawn." That's requirement. Also "Individuals required to obtain/maintain a favorable security determination to occupy a sensitive position as a condition of employment. Failure to maintain eligibility to occupy a sensitive position may result in termination." That's requirement.
Also "Criminal History Inquiries- For some positions, criminal history inquiries may not take place before you receive a conditional job offer." That's requirement.
Also "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." That's maybe under Requirements? Could be under Requirements as a note.
Also "A career with the U.S. government provides employees with a comprehensive benefits package." That's benefits.
We need to avoid duplication: Many lines repeated like "Obtain/Maintain Financial Management Certification." appears multiple times; we should keep only once.
We need to output only HTML fragment, no /, no markdown fences.
