If you where to buy a custom manufactured part (non COTS) you might run into the COTS definition rule. That would not apply to a commercial product though.
Thank you for your quick and helpful reply.

We don't plan on buying any non-COTS components.
Thing is, we haven't seen any CD threads regarding this question and we were wondering if there is something obvious we'd missed.
