The USDA Forest Service is planning to award a single-source contract to Wildlife Acoustics, Inc. for the procurement of 33 portable acoustic song meter mini 2 Li-ion units. These specialized recording devices are essential for bioacoustic monitoring of wildlife species in the Colville National Forest, supporting the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Project by collecting extensive sound data with low maintenance over extended periods. The selection of Wildlife Acoustics is based on their unique technical capabilities and previous successful testing of their equipment by the Pacific Northwest Research Station. Interested vendors have 7 days from the notice to express their capabilities, although competition is not anticipated, with the planned award expected in September 2024. For further inquiries, interested parties can contact Jennifer LaBarge at jennifer.labarge@usda.gov.
