How this buyer can buy

SOS panel (federal)

Commonwealth core stationery must be bought through the SOS arrangement, whose panel is COS, Officeworks and Winc. Do not pitch unrestricted replacement supply - target optional categories or future panel approaches only.

  • SOS panel membership (COS/Officeworks/Winc) blocks direct supply of core stationery to Commonwealth entities until the next panel refresh (~Dec 2029)

Verified facts vs AI inference

Verified fact
Live WoAG SOS panel (third iteration) commencing 14 Dec 2024 with customer commencement notices still issuing through 2026; panel refresh ATM expected before ~Dec 2029 head-agreement end
AI inference
Commonwealth core stationery must come via the SOS arrangement - panel membership (COS, Officeworks, Winc) constrains direct supply, so the buying route for federal entities is the panel tender itself; watch AusTender for the refresh ATM ahead of the ~Dec 2029 expiry and note agencies issue their own customer notices (single notices seen at $475,000 over five years)
