Read Example 3 of the definition of COTS - a design which is available to all teams is a COTS item, but the part built from that design is not. If you have a previous design you want to use, as I interpret it you can either
1) Generate an all new model and drawings to build it
2) Publish the model and build it from the model
3) Publish the model and create new drawings from the model to build it
4) Publish the model and drawings and build it from the drawings
