Re: Does Assembly make Fabricated Items

Most of that sounds like Fabricated.

In general, COTS condition means it's exactly as it was when it appeared in a FedEx box on your doorstep from the manufacturer or off the shelf at a store.

If a disassembled item is also available direct from the manufacturer in an assembled form, then you can assemble it and still count as COTS.

Any hands on work like adding connectors, keys, gears, bolting onto a frame, bringing any to pieces together that were not sold that way is fabricating.
