Integrity Systems Company (ISC) is inviting existing third-party National Livestock Identification System (NLIS) API Integrators to apply for Grant funding to support their transition to the uplifted NLIS database.

The NLIS database has several linkages to State and Territory regulatory systems and industry third-party systems, which offer automated reporting coupled with livestock monitoring and management tools. Uplifting the NLIS database will break the feed between the NLIS and these systems. These feeds will require enhancement, improvement or a complete rebuild to integrate with the uplifted database.

This project is funded by the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (Commonwealth) under the NLIS Database Uplift Transition Support grant.

ISC is consulting separately with the State and Territory Departments of Agriculture (SDA) on supporting their transition to the uplifted NLIS database.

Eligibility

To be eligible for this funding, the third-party integrator needs to be connected to the current NLIS through an API, be using the NLIS API for biosecurity or traceability purposes, and have accessed the NLIS in the past year.

Current third-party integrators include:

• Tag and device manufacturers
• Third-party software providers that provide services to processors, feedlots, saleyards, agents and producers.

Applicants will not be eligible for consideration if:

The provider is the recipient of other Commonwealth traceability grants that fund similar upgrades

Any NLIS users that upload data via the web and not through an API
