Yep. Just to add based on a Q&A question:
FRC0639
Q: If a COTS item is mounted to an assembly of fabricated components, is the item still considered COTS if it is otherwise unmodified? (ie, no mounting holes drilled in it)
A: No. Mounting a COTS item into an assembly is considered modifying it, making it a Fabricated item. If the COTS item was removed from the larger assembly and otherwise unmodified, it would be considered a COTS item.
