The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 541690, Other Scientific and Technical Services and the size standard is $19.0 in millions of dollars. The object of this sole source award is to analyze recordings of 5 seabird species collected by automated acoustic meters in 2023. Because nocturnal and burrow-nesting seabird species are extremely difficult to monitor by traditional means (especially on remote islands); WMTNWRC is testing the ability to assess the presence and activity of these species using song meters. The information produced by this project will be used to inform cross-regional seabird surveys that are performed and/or supported by National Wildlife Refuges, USFWS Inventory and Monitoring and Migratory Bird Programs, and state wildlife agency partners. Sole source justification attached.
