About Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry procurement

The Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF) is a Commonwealth agency responsible for supporting Australia’s primary industries, protecting biosecurity, and strengthening rural communities. Its procurement footprint is national, with opportunities concentrated in Queensland (14), ACT (10) and nationally scoped work (11) among 36 tenders we’ve tracked. DAFF stands out for a steady stream of high-skill engagements alongside targeted capability uplifts—ranging from ICT transformation and cyber resilience to biosecurity preparedness—reflecting both operational delivery across regions and policy/technology work anchored in Canberra.

Across the last year, DAFF’s buying has been dominated by labour hire and recruitment-style approaches, particularly senior ICT and delivery roles. Recent listings include 1 Senior Project Manager, 3 Senior Developers, 2 Business Analysts, 2 Senior Testers, multiple architects (Technology, Application, Security Solution), and specialist posts like 1 Lead Data Engineer and 1 Lead Interaction Designer. Platform and solution work features prominently: Personnel Services to Design, Build and Implement DAFF’s ServiceNow Portfolio Management Tool; DAFF Microsoft Teams Rooms and Digital Signage Services; Software Asset Management professionals; and Multiple Senior OneID Application and Systems Developer. Security and investigations needs are evident in ATM_2025_3218: Digital Forensic Services for Investigations Branch and 1 Lead Cyber Incident Responder, while domain-specific initiatives appear in High resolution imagery: proof of concept for identifying land use and ATM_2025_2670: Northern Australia Biosecurity Preparedness Uplift. Most ICT notices look like individual placements or small squads; by contrast, the Rural Financial Counselling Service Program 2027 to 2032 signals multi-year, service-delivery scale.

Suppliers succeed with crisp, capability-led responses that map directly to the role or outcome sought, backed by relevant certifications (e.g. ServiceNow, Microsoft, SAM expertise), demonstrable delivery in similar government contexts, and clear value-for-money. Tailor bids to DAFF’s mission—biosecurity, agriculture and regional delivery—highlighting experience in data engineering (e.g. ArcGIS/imagery), cyber and digital forensics, and enterprise platforms. Expect open Approach to Market (ATM) notices for discrete roles/outcomes, with some opportunities suited to niche specialists or small squads; smaller firms can break in by partnering on multi-resource packages or leading tightly scoped work (e.g. Teams Rooms rollouts, SAM baselining, targeted analytics POCs). Emphasise rapid mobilisation, strong references, and the ability to service Queensland and national footprints. For practical steps, see our guide to government tendering in Australia.
