Details

As the Managing Contractor for Integrated Land Target System (ILTS) Program, ATS will be responsible for the procurement, delivery into service, inventory management, replenishment and sustainment (where applicable) of live-fire target Consumable products, on behalf of the Department of Defence (Defence).

The Integrated Land Target System (ILTS) Program defines a means by which Defence can improve, modernise and enhance land combatant training outcomes through contemporary and fit for purpose target systems and Consumables, managed and sustained under the Program.

This Statement of Requirement (SOR) defines the requirement for the establishment of Standing Offers for the supply of live-fire targetry Consumables in support of Army training activities. The products to be supplied are used on Defence training ranges to enable the safe, realistic and effective conduct of live-fire weapons training.

The Consumable products are engaged with live ammunition and are expected to be replaced as a result of ballistic damage, weathering and normal range wear. Target configurations may include, but are not limited to silhouette, figure, mannequin, zeroing and grouping, vehicle and specialist target types, as applicable.

The Consumables will be used across fixed and temporary/field range facilities in varying climatic and environmental conditions, and be compatible with existing range infrastructure, including target frames, mounts, stands and mechanised target systems as specified within this tender.

Products must provide clear visual definition and consistent engagement characteristics, and must be suitable for use with the weapon systems and ammunition types where specified in this tender. As Consumables, they are required to be cost-effective, available in relevant volumes and supplied to support sustained and surge training demand.

Primary location of delivery: Wallangarra, Queensland 4383.

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission for this defence & security opportunity. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
