• Hands-on experience with DoD lifecycle management and a working understanding of DLA policies and procedures governing system changes, upgrades, and connections.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite applications.
• An IT-II security clearance or a current National Agency Check with Local Agency Check and Credit Check (NACLC) at the time of proposal submission.
• A relevant certification from a nationally recognized technical authority.
