Re: Paradoxical Q&A

I am assuming that this discussion is with respect to defining the 30-lb withholding allotment.

If you mount a COTS part to an assembly, then it is part of the assembly and, therefore, becomes part of the 30-lb withholding allotment. It does not matter at this point if you have modified the COTS part. It is still part of the assembly.

If you remove the part from the assembly, place it in a box with no wires attached to it, like it was when you bought it, then it becomes a COTS part again.

Poof, like magic. COTS to assembly and back to COTS again.
