Walker Environmental Research has that experience through a combined approach of data analysis, modeling and visualization which can be seen in the Ecosheds.org website which provides the bases of what is for passive acoustic research program's acoustic data. In addition they have expertise with producing and visualizing occupancy models which is an essential part of the requirement. The statutory authority for other than full and open competition is FAR 13.106-1(b)(1)(i), Only one responsible source.
