 Definition: Commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) is a term for software or hardware, generally technology or computer products, that are ready-made and available for sale, lease, or license to the general public.
They are often used as alternatives to in-house developments or one-off government-funded developments.
The use of COTS is being mandated across many government and business programs, as they may offer significant savings in procurement and maintenance.
However, since COTS software specifications are written by external sources, government agencies are sometimes wary of these products because they fear that future changes to the product will not be under their control.
Note that most existing open source software is COTS, as it is licensed to the public.
Some claim that fact invalidates the loss-of-control argument since the source code is available.
The other school of thought insists on broader meaning of the loss-of-control argument, equating it with loss-of-functional-control where control is not defined as 'access to code', but 'realistic ability to manipulate the code.'
