Overview The Department of Home Affairs is seeking information from industry on Aerial Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Uncrewed Maritime Capabilities to support civil maritime security operations. This is a request for information (RFI) and is not a procurement process. It will not result in the award of a contract. Purpose This RFI is intended to inform future capability planning by improving the Department's understanding of available and emerging uncrewed aerial systems, ISR technologies, operating models and commercial delivery options. The Department is interested in capabilities that support persistent maritime surveillance, including the detection, tracking and identification of vessels in remote and challenging operating environments. Respondents may propose integrated solutions or individual components. Information Requested Respondents are invited to provide information on: Capability performance Communications and data management Sustainment Regulatory compliance Workforce requirements Delivery models Solution maturity Operational experience Australian industry involvement Export controls Commercial models Indicative cost drivers Any risks, constraints or dependencies relevant to the capability Enquiries Contact: Civil Maritime Procurement Email: civilmaritimecapabilityprocurement@abf.gov.au
A strong tender response is clear, compliant, and backed by evidence. These steps apply to most Australian and New Zealand public tenders.
Open the official listing and download the full tender pack. Note the response schedules, evaluation criteria, mandatory conditions, and the exact closing time and lodgement method.
Check licences, insurances, certifications, and any conformance requirements before you commit. A quick bid or no-bid decision saves days of wasted effort on a tender you cannot win.
Respond to each evaluation criterion directly and back your claims with concrete examples, referees, and past performance. Address the buyer’s stated need, not a generic capability statement.
Submit through the source portal well before the deadline. Late or incorrectly lodged bids are almost always rejected, so leave time for uploads, portal errors, and last-minute questions.
