Aside from being boring, you have to account non-team labor costs on the BOM

EXAMPLE 1: A Team orders a custom bracket made by a company to the Team’s specification. The company’s material cost and normally
charged labor rate apply.
EXAMPLE 2: A Team receives a donated sensor. The company would normally sell this item for $52 USD, which is therefore its fair market
value.
