NIOA has extended its relationship with Victoria Police with a new three-year agreement for supply of ammunition.
NIOA will supply 22 different ammunition natures for operational and training requirements, using products supplied by Vista Outdoor including brands such as Federal, Speer and CCI.
The agreement starts with an initial three-year term. Under the agreement, other Australian affiliated policing entities can also source ammunition under the terms and conditions of the contract.
“NIOA has established a reputation for providing high-quality products to clients who need and expect the best service available. The Vista Outdoor range provides law enforcement agencies with the knowledge that their operational and training requirements will be met,” NIOA Chief Executive Officer Robert Nioa said.
The company recently announced that it will begin production of 25mm Frangible Armoured Piercing (FAP) projectiles at the federal government-owned Benalla plant in Victoria through its joint venture with Rheinmetall.
The deal marks the first expansion of the RNM joint venture beyond its $60 million artillery shell forging plant in Maryborough, Queensland.
