In this subtitle, the term “commercially available off-the-shelf item”—
(1)means an item that—
(A)is a commercial product (as described in section 103(1) of this title);
(B)is sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and
(C)is offered to the Federal Government, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; but
(2)does not include bulk cargo, as defined in section 40102(4) of title 46, such as agricultural products and petroleum products.
(Pub. L. 111–350, § 3, Jan. 4, 2011, 124 Stat. 3679; Pub. L. 115–232, div. A, title VIII, § 836(a)(2)(B), Aug. 13, 2018, 132 Stat. 1860; Pub. L. 116–283, div. A, title X, § 1081(d)(4)(A), Jan. 1, 2021, 134 Stat. 3874.)
In paragraph (2), the words “section 40102(4) of title 46” are substituted for “section 3 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. App. 1702)” because of section 18(c) of Public Law 109–304 (46 U.S.C. note prec. 101).
