FORMULA

a(n) = |(d/dq P(n,q))_{q=1}| with P(n,q) = Sum_{k,m=1..n} S2(n,k) * S2(n,m) * (q-k-m)^n * Product_{i=0..k+m-1} (q-i) and S2 = A008277.

MAPLE

with (combinat):

P:= n-> expand (add (add (stirling2(n, k) *stirling2(n, m)

         *mul(q-i, i=0..k+m-1) *(q-k-m)^n, m=1..n), k=1..n)):

a:= n-> abs (subs (q=1, diff (P(n), q))):

seq (a(n), n=1..15);
