The contracting officer selected Wildsea Inc. on a sole-source basis under FAR 13.106-1(b)(1), citing its unique combination of extensive marine mammal and seabird identification expertise and prior POWER survey participation; of five observers with prior POWER experience, two have retired, one has died, and the remaining three lack the required dual expertise.
