There are 8 retirements scheduled from now until 1/30.
Do those 8 positions just get filled from a secondary vacancy? Or are those 8 positions covered by the 27 vacancies? Thus meaning there are only 19 “new” positions created.
Those 8 retirements have nothing to do with this bid. Its possible they were included on the previous bid. On the October bid it will show some similar number, and most of those 8 will still show up as "retirements schedules from now until..." just like last month's bid also showed "retirements until 12/31" which means September, October November and December retirements are all double counted.
