Re: Custom pneumatics are not COTS and therefore illegal. so it seems
So I posted my question to Q&A. Here was the response:

1) Correct, custom parts are not COTS parts.
2) If any TEAM would be able to order the same cylinder with the same stroke and it is regularly stocked at a VENDOR, that part is considered COTS and can be used.


So to me that says if they don't stock it and it is made to order then that is considered custom and is illegal.
