Hi,

Long time lurker, first time poster. Lots of great information here!

I get the basic concept of Commercial Off the Shelf, but where's the line?

Our company makes fasteners. Some fasteners are used by DoD contractors. If the DoD contractors use the same fasteners that well sell to other non-defense companies - would they be considered COTS?

Our fasteners have not been deemed CUI by our DoD customers.

Thank you!
